So I'm trying to figure out which series converges faster. For the life of me I can't remember how to do this..


Sum 1/(n^5)

or

Sum -1^(n-1) * 1/(n^5)

So, p-series where p=5 or it's alternating series? Can someone point me in the right direction?

My mind is too bouncy to do the end but focus on the part that is different

^lol..

I figured it out. Compared # of terms required to make the error a certain value for both series...
