8.5: Alternating Series and Absolute Convergence
WebThere are certain forms of infinite series that are frequently encountered in mathematics. The following example. for constants and is known as the geometric series. The convergence of this series is determined by the constant , which is the common ratio . Theorem: Convergence of the Geometric Series. Let and be real numbers. WebA finite geometric series always converges. But the convergence of an infinite geometric series depends upon the value of its common ratio. An infinite geometric series a, ar, ar 2, ... converges when r < 1 and hence we can find its sum using the formula a / (1 - r). diverges when r > 1 and hence we can't find its sum in this case.

WebFor each of the following series, determine which convergence test is the best to use and explain why. Then determine if the series converges or diverges. If the series is an alternating series, determine whether it converges absolutely, converges conditionally, or diverges. ∞ ∑ n = 1 n2 + 2n n3 + 3n2 + 1. ∞ ∑ n = 1 n 2 + 2 n n 3 + 3 n ... http://www.mediakidsacademy.com/vpGgYa/convergent-or-divergent-calculator Webconverges.
