. Consider the series partial sum of infinity to k = 2 of (k^4 + 2k^2 + k −3)^(1/2)/(k^3 + 2k^2 + 6) . (a) Explain why the Limit Comparison Test is a good choice for determining convergence/divergence of the series. (b) Use the Limit Comparison Test to determine whether the converges or diverges. Make sure to carefully apply the test and to explain your choice of a comparison series.
