or DNE.
2
New cards
Integral Test
If a series turned into an integral converges or diverges, then the series also converges or diverges.
3
New cards
P-series
If p > 1 the series converges.
If p
If p > 1 the series converges.
If p <= 1 the series diverges.
4
New cards
Geometric Series Test
First, recognize that the series is in the form of a geometric series (see image). Then test r (see image).
First, recognize that the series is in the form of a geometric series (see image). Then test r (see image).
5
New cards
Direct Comparison Test
Compare two series together, an and bn.

If an >= bn, and bn diverges, then an diverges

If an
6
New cards
Limit Comparison Test
If not zero, then both converge or diverge.

If 0 and bn converges, then an converges.

If infinity and bn diverges, then an diverges.
If not zero, then both converge or diverge.

If 0 and bn converges, then an converges.

If infinity and bn diverges, then an diverges.
7
New cards
Alternating Series Test
If an alternating series (see image), it converges if

0 < a(sub n +1)
If an alternating series (see image), it converges if

0 < a(sub n +1) <= an for all n >= 0
AND
limit (n -> infinity) of an == 0.

This guarantees at least conditional convergence.
8
New cards
Absolute and Conditional Convergence of an Alternating Series
It has absolute convergence if the abs(an) of an converges, conditional convergence if an converges and abs(an) diverges.
It has absolute convergence if the abs(an) of an converges, conditional convergence if an converges and abs(an) diverges.
9
New cards
Ratio Test
if 0
if 0 <= L < 1, then an converges absolutely

If L > 1 then it diverges

If L = 1, the test provides no info
10
New cards
Root Test
p = what's in the image.

If 0
p = what's in the image.

If 0 <= p < 1, then it converges absolutely

If p > 1 or p = infinity, then it diverges

If p = 1, no info from test
