<s>[INST] Series $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{n+1}{2^n}$ I want to check, whether $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{n+1}{2^n}$ converges or diverges.
I tried to use the Ratio test:
$|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|= \frac{n+2}{2^{n+1}} \frac{2^n}{n+1} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{n+1+1}{n+1} = \frac{1}{2} (1+ \frac{1}{n+1})$
$\lim\limits_{n \rightarrow \infty}{{(\frac{1}{2}(1+ \frac{1}{n+1})) = \frac{1}{2}}} \leq 1$
So $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{n+1}{2^n}$ converges.
Could somebody please check my solution?
 [/INST] You can also break it down into a sum of two series $1/2^n $ and $n/2^n$ , each of which converges; first is a geometric series (with $r<1$), the second converges by , e.g., the zeta test; $n/2^n < 1/n^2$ for all $n>N$ ; $N$ a finite value.
