For alternating series, if the series is absolutely convergent, then it is also convergent. Now

To determine the convergence or divergence of the series (\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1}\text{sech}(n)) from (1) to (\infty), we use the alternating series test. This test states that if a series is alternating (i.e., terms alternate in sign) and the absolute value of the terms decreases as (n) increases, then the series converges.
In this case, (\text{sech}(n) = \frac{1}{\cosh(n)} = \frac{2}{e^n + e^{-n}}). Since (\cosh(n)) grows exponentially, (\text{sech}(n)) decreases exponentially as (n) increases.
Therefore, the series (\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1}\text{sech}(n)) converges by the alternating series test.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
