Answer

Convergent

Work Step by Step

Step 1: Restate The Problem Step 2: Create a function f(n) using the series Step 3: Use Divergence Test Problem: $\sum^\infty_{n=1} \frac{1}{n^2+2n+2}$ Test for Divergence Using Divergence Test: $f(n) = \frac{1}{n^2+2n+2}$ Series is convergent if $ \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} f(n) =0$ $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n^2+2n+2} = \frac{1}{\infty} = 0$ Thus, Series is convergent by Divergence Test
