I'm a little concerned because the first three terms do not fit the pattern of the described nth term. If the nth term is correct, then the first term would be 1/2, the second 1/6, the third, 1/12, etc. On the other hand if you really meant to follow the pattern you did establish in the first three terms, then the nth term should look something like 1%2F%281%2B%28%28n%2B1%29%2F10%29%29. In one case the series will converge, and in the other case it will not.
