In this task, we need to check the convergence of the given series. Here, the ratio test is inconclusive. Thus, we can use the alternating series test to check the convergence. The alternating series test states that n=1(1)nan\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^na_n converges if

1)1) the ana_n's are all positive.

2)2) anan+1a_n \ge a_{n+1} for all nN.n\ge N.

3)3) limnan=0.\lim_{n \to \infty}a_n=0.
