12-79.

Consider the infinite series below. For each, decide if it converges or diverges and justify your conclusion. State which test you used.

$\displaystyle\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } \frac { 1 + \operatorname { cos } n } { n ^ { 2 } }$
Hint (a):
Compare this series to $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2}{n^2}.$

$\displaystyle\sum _ { j = 1 } ^ { \infty } \frac { j ! } { ( 2 j + 1 ) ! }$
Step (b):
$\lim\limits_{j\to\infty}\Bigg|\frac{\frac{(j+1)!}{(2j+2)!}}{\frac{j!}{(2j+1)!}}\Bigg|$

$\displaystyle\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } n e ^ { - n ^ { 2 } }$
Step (c):
$\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\Bigg|\frac{\frac{n+1}{e^{(n+1)^2}}}{\frac{n}{e^{n^2}}}\Bigg|$

$\displaystyle\sum _ { k = 1 } ^ { \infty } \frac { 2 - k } { k \cdot 2 ^ { k } }$
Step (d):
$\lim\limits_{k\to\infty}\Bigg|\frac{\frac{1-k}{(k+1)\cdot 2^{k+1}}}{\frac{2-k}{k\cdot 2^k}}\Bigg|$
