-($j).  The function \(f(x) = x e^{$a x}\) is continuous and increasing because it is the product of 
-continuous increasing functions, so \(f(x) \geq f(1)=e^{$a}\) when \(1\leq x < \infty\).  Thus
-\[ \int_1^{\infty} f(x) \; dx \geq \int_1^{\infty} e^{$a} \; dx = \infty.\]  
-Since \(f\) is increasing it follows that 
-\[ f(n) \geq \int_{n-1}^n f(x)\; dx  \text{ for each } n=2,3,4,\cdots\]
-thus one can apply the integral test:
-\[ \begin{aligned} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f(n) &= f(1) + \sum_{n=2}^{\infty}f(n) \\ 
-   &\geq  f(1)+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \int_{n-1}^n f(x)\; dx  \\
-   &= f(1) + \int_1^{\infty} f(x)\; dx \\
-   & = \infty,
- \end{aligned}\]
-which shows that the series diverges.
