For problems 10 to 13 (each worth 5 points), determine whether

each series is absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or di-
vergent. Be sure to code your scantron sheet as follows:
A ↔ if the series is absolutely convergent,
C ↔ if the series is conditionally convergent,
D ↔ if the series is divergent.
