Question

This is not a graded assignment.  I am practicing for an upcoming assessment and I need to check my work with an expert, as I do not have anyone else to help me with it.

Let & a(N) be such that (a(N)) is a decreasing sequence of strictly positive
N=1
Numbers. IF S(N) denotes the Nth partial sum, show (by grouping the terms
IN S(2) in two different ways) that:
}
1/(a(1) + Za(2)+...+ 2₁a (2^)) ≤ (a (1) + Za(z) + ... + 2N- (2-1)) +a (2").
Use these inequalities to show that a(N) converges if and only if
SWI
N=1
2^a (2") converges. Use the Cauchy Condensation Test.
