Answer

The series $\Sigma \dfrac{1}{\sqrt k}$ diverges by using the comparison test .

Work Step by Step

Here, we can see that the series $\dfrac{1}{k} \leq \dfrac{1}{\sqrt k}$ where, $k=1,2,3,.....$ But the series $\Sigma \dfrac{1}{k}$ diverges. Thus, we can say that the series $\Sigma \dfrac{1}{\sqrt k}$ diverges by using the comparison test .
