If the following series converges, compute its sum. Otherwise, enter INF if it diverges to infinity, MINF if it diverges to minus infinity, and DIV otherwise. ?_{n=1}^{?} 5 / (n(n + 2)) (Hint: try breaking the summands up partial fractions-style.) Determine the sum of the following series. ?_{n=1}^{?} (1)^{n-1} / 8^n
