Problem

Consider the series ∑k=1∞3k(k+3)\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{3}{k(k+3)}. Which of the following best describes its behavior? a) It diverges because the limit of its terms is non-zero. b) It converges because its partial sums telescope to a finite limit. c) It converges because it is a pp-series with p>1p>1. d) It diverges because a comparison with the harmonic series shows its partial sums grow without bound.
