By the divergence test, the fact that
n=1∑∞n+1nan−2n+1
converges guarantees that
n→∞limn+1nan−2n+1=0,
or equivalently, that
0=n→∞limn+1nan−n→∞limn+12n−1=n→∞liman−2⟺n→∞liman=2
The series of interest can be written
−loga1+n=1∑∞[log(an)−log(an+1)]
which looks like a telescoping series. So we'll compute the partial
sum
SN=−loga1+n=1∑N[log(an)−log(an+1)]=−loga1+[log(a1)−log(a2)]+[log(a2)−log(a3)]+⋯+[log(aN)−log(aN+1)]=−log(aN+1)
and then take the limit N→∞
−loga1+n=1∑∞[log(an)−log(an+1)]=N→∞limSN=−N→∞limlog(aN+1)=−log2=log21
