If you know whether ∑ n b converges or not, try using the limit comparison test. Comparison Test. (Warning! This only works if n a and n b are always positive.).

Useful for comparison tests if the nth term an of a series is similar to axn . p-series. 1X n=1. 1 np. Converges if p > 1. Diverges if p 1.

24 мар. 2016 г. · 4) Determine limit L by taking the limit as n → ∞. 5) Sum: S = a1 − L. NOTE: These tests prove convergence and divergence, not the actual limit ...

Test for Divergence. P-Series. Geometric Series. Alternating Series Test. Limit Comparison Test. Ratio Test. Flowchart for Convergence Tests for Series. . aann.

We now have several ways of testing a series for convergence or divergence; the problem is to decide which test to use on which series.

The two series that are the easiest to test are geometric series and p-series. • Geometric is generally in the form. • P-series is generally in the form ar k.

Summary of the convergence tests that may appear on the Calculus BC exam. Test Name. The series … will converge if. Or will diverge if. Comments nth –term test.
