Example Question #17 :Series And Functions
Does the following series converge or diverge:
Cannot be determined with the given information.
Diverge
Converge
Diverge
To test if this series diverges, before using a higher test, we may use the test for divergence.
The test for divergence informs that if the sequence does not approach 0 as n approaches infinity then the series diverges (NOTE: This only shows divergence, the converse is not true, that is, the test for divergence cannot be used to show convergence.).
We note that as
,
this is derived from the fact that to find the limit as x approaches infinity of a function, one must first find the horizontal asymptote. Since this function is a rational expression with the highest power in both the numerator and denominator, the horizontal asymptote is equal to the quotient of the leading coefficients of both the numerator and denominator, which in this case is 2/3.
Since the limit as x tends to infinity of this series is a nonzero value, we may conclude that the series diverges by the Test for Divergence.

None of the others converge.
converges due to the comparison test.
We start with the equation. Sincefor all values of k, we can multiply both side of the equation by the inequality and getfor all values of k. Sinceis a convergent p-series with,hence also converges by the comparison test.

Example Question #1 :Concepts Of Convergence And Divergence
Ifconverges, which of the following statements must be true?
The limit of thepartial sums asapproaches infinity is zero.
None of the other answers must be true.
For some large value of,.
The limit of theterm asapproaches infinity is not zero.
For some large value of,.
如果级数收敛,那么我们知道μst approach zero. At some point, the terms will be less than 1, meaning when you take the third power of the term, it will be less than the original term.
Other answers are not true for a convergent series by theterm test for divergence.
In addition, the limit of thepartial sums refers to the value the series converges to. A convergent series need not converge to zero. The alternating harmonic series is a good counter example to this.
