What does the harmonic series do (in words)?

The harmonic series adds up unit fractions

12
New cards

What is the sum of the infinite harmonic series?

∞

because if the sum of the infinite series converges, it means eventually the terms start becoming so close to zero that they add nothing, so the limit of the series itself is zero as the terms sufficiently far down enough are practically zero

What is a contrapositive

If your original statement is "If P, then Q", the contrapositive is "If not Q, then not P".

New cards

What is the contrapositive of the previous picture of like if am convergent → lim am = 0

Give an example of how this theorem can be used

17
New cards

Each series with positive terms is either ___ or ___

(aka the sum of an infinite series am is either __ or __)

Each series with positive / eventually positive terms is regular - aka either convergent or positively divergent

18
New cards

Give an example of how this can be used

am = (3m + 1) / (4m - 1). Given that lim am ≠ 0 and the sequence is always positive, the sequence must be positively divergent — to + infinity

19
New cards

What can the infinite sum of a positive infinitesimal (am) series be?
