Q3) (a) 

Test the convergence of the series 112-122+132-142+....

Here, 112-122+132-142+...=∑n=1∞-1n+1n2         .........[ 1 ]

Comparing with Eq. [ 1 ] with  ∑n=1∞-1n+1un ,

So, un =1n2 .

Clearly,112>122>132>142>⋯

So,un is decreasing sequence.

Now, limn→∞ un

No= limn→∞1n2

No= 0

So, by Leibnitz’s Test, given series is convergent.
