Determine If the Series Converges or Diverges $$\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } \left( \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n + 1 } } - \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n + 3 } } \right)$$

question 48

Multiple Choice

Determine if the series converges or diverges. If the series converges, find its sum.
- $$\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } \left( \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n + 1 } } - \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n + 3 } } \right)$$

• A) converges; \(\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 3 } } + \frac { 1 } { 2 }\)
• B) diverges
• C) converges; \(\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 3 } } + \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 6 } }\)
• D) converges; \(\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } } + \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 3 } }\)
