Step 1: Recognize that the given series is ∑_{n=1}^{∞} 1 / (n^(3/5)). This is a p-series, which has the general form ∑_{n=1}^{∞} 1 / (n^p). The convergence or divergence of a p-series depends on the value of p.
Step 2: Recall the convergence criterion for p-series: If p > 1, the series converges. If p ≤ 1, the series diverges.
Step 3: Compare the exponent in the denominator of the given series (3/5) with the convergence criterion. Here, p = 3/5, which is less than 1.
Step 4: Based on the criterion, since p ≤ 1, the series diverges. This is because the terms of the series do not decrease quickly enough to sum to a finite value.
Step 5: Conclude that the series ∑_{n=1}^{∞} 1 / (n^(3/5)) is divergent because the exponent p = 3/5 satisfies the condition p ≤ 1.
