Answer

The series is divergent.

Work Step by Step

The graph of the sequence of terms and the sequence of partial terms is given below. From the graph, as $n$ becomes larger the sequence of terms $a_n$ approaches $1$ and the sequence of partial sums $S_n$ is increasing without bound. We conclude that the series is divergent since the limit of the sequence of terms is not zero.
