Solve and justify each step: For the parameterized p-series below, determine whether it converges. Your solution must reference the threshold at $p=1$: Decide whether the series converges or diverges. You must justify your answer by naming a theorem. $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^{\frac{43}{16}}}.$$ (a) Solve using a...

{ "consistency_check": "Both approaches agree after simplification. Final answer: $\\boxed{\\text{Converges}$.\nBoth tests reduce to the same threshold $p=1$.
