29 sie 2023 · There are many ways to determine if a sequence converges—two are listed below. In all cases changing or removing a finite number of terms in a sequence does not affect its convergence or divergence: The Comparison Test makes sense intuitively, since something larger than a quantity going to infinity must also go to infinity.

In mathematics, convergence tests are methods of testing for the convergence, conditional convergence, absolute convergence, interval of convergence or divergence of an infinite series .
22 sty 2022 · So the integral test tells us that the series \(\sum\limits_{n=2}^\infty\frac{1}{n(\log n)^p}\) converges if and only if the integral \(\int_2^\infty\frac{dx}{x (\log x)^p}\) converges. To test the convergence of the integral, we make the substitution \(u=\log x\text{,}\) \(du=\frac{dx}{x}\text{.}\)

Alternating series test: If \( a_n \) is a decreasing sequence of positive integers such that \( \lim\limits_{n\to\infty} a_n = 0 \), then \( \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n a_n \) converges. If \( a_n = \frac1n \), the test immediately shows that the alternating harmonic series \( \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}n \) is (conditionally ...
Here we show how to use the convergence or divergence of these series to prove convergence or divergence for other series, using a method called the comparison test. For example, consider the series \[\sum_{n=1}^∞\dfrac{1}{n^2+1}.\]
The Ratio Test for Sequence Convergence. We will now look at a useful theorem that we can apply in order to determine whether a sequence of positive real numbers converges. Before we do so, we must first prove the following lemma.
