Question
NUMBER 5 part (b). Step by step with small along explanation.
**Problem 5**

(a) **Briefly explain** why each of the series below either **converges** or **diverges.**

\[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^{1/2}}
\]

\[
\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n \cdot n^2}{3n^2 + 1}
\]

(b) Looking at part (a), find \( s_{20} \) and \( s_{21} \) for the series that converges.

(c) How is the sum of a convergent alternating series related to \( s_{20} \) and \( s_{21} \)?
