Absolute Conditional Diverge
Take absolute values and try direct comparison test.
Try direct comparison to $e^{-n}$.
Determine whether the series below converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.
Absolute Conditional Diverge
What is the dominant term in the denominator as $n \rightarrow \infty$?
The dominant term in the denominator is $n$.
This means that the terms do not go to zero.
Determine whether the series below converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.
Absolute Conditional Diverge
What is the dominant term in the denominator as $n \rightarrow \infty$?
The dominant term in the denominator is $n^2$.
Determine whether the series below converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.
Absolute Conditional Diverge
Determine whether the series below converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.
Absolute Conditional Diverge
Which term dominates as $n \rightarrow \infty$: $\sqrt {n}$ or $\ln (n+1)$?
Answer: $\sqrt {n}$ dominates $\ln (n+1)$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$.
Determine whether the series below converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.
Absolute Conditional Diverge
To show that convergence is not absolute, try limit comparison.
The comparison series can be taken to be $1/\sqrt {n}$ in this case.
Determine whether the series below converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.
Absolute Conditional Diverge
Try limit comparison with the harmonic series.
Determine whether the series below converges absolutely, conditionally, or diverges.
Absolute Conditional Diverge
With absolute values, compare to a harmonic series.
How do we know that the alternating series test applies?
