State without proof the Integral Comparison Test for the convergence of a series ∑n=1∞an\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{n} of non-negative terms.

Determine for which positive real numbers α\alpha the series ∑n=1∞n−α\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^{-\alpha} converges.

In each of the following cases determine whether the series is convergent or divergent: (i) ∑n=3∞1nlog⁡n\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n \log n}, (ii) ∑n=3∞1(nlog⁡n)(log⁡log⁡n)2\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(n \log n)(\log \log n)^{2}}, (iii) ∑n=3∞1n(1+1/n)log⁡n\sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{(1+1 / n) \log n}}.
