Prove the complex series converge absolutely

Question

Prove the complex $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty (k+k^2i)^{-1}$$ series converge absolutely

Solution: by triangle inequality, we have $$|k+k^2i|\ge k^2-k \ge {k^2\over 2}$$ if $$k \ge 2 $$ how to understand this??

Answer 1

I am assuming that the sum begins with $k=1$.

What you did is correct and proves that the series converges absolutely. You can also use the fact that$$\frac1{k+k^2i}=\frac{k-k^2i}{k^2+k^k}=\frac1{k+k^3}-\frac1{1+k^2}i$$and that both series$$\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{k+k^3}\text{ and }\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{1+k^2}$$converge, by the comparison test.
