Changes to solution and hints

I made several changes to the solution and hints. First of all, students will never use the p-series test for part (c): almost everyone will use the ratio test here. I deleted the p-series test solution because I don't think it will resonate with the students.

Second, I changed the solution to part (d): for students in math 101/103/105, the p-series test refers only to the convergence/divergence of the sum of 1/n^p. Here, they need to use the comparison or limit comparison test to compare with a p-series.
