Find the values of p for which the series is convergent
(a) Σ(n=2 to ∞) 1/n(ln n)^p
(b) Σ(n=2 to ∞) n(1+n^2)^p
HINT: Use the integral test to investigate both
In this exercise, we examine one of the conditions of the
Alternating Series Test. Consider the alternating series
1−1+1/2−1/4+1/3−1/9+1/4−1/16+⋯,
where the terms are selected alternately from the sequences
{1/n} and {−1/n^2}.
Explain why the nth term of the given series converges to 0 as n
goes to infinity.
Rewrite the given series by grouping terms in the following
manner:
(1−1)+(1/2−1/4)+(1/3−1/9)+(1/4−1/16)+⋯.
Use this regrouping to determine if the series converges or
diverges.
Explain why the condition that the sequence {an}{an}
decreases...
Alternating Series Test. Let (an) be a sequence
satisfying
(i) a1 ≥ a2 ≥ a3 ≥ · · · ≥ an ≥ an+1 ≥ · · · and
(ii) (an) → 0.
Show that then the alternating series X∞
n=1
(−1)n+1an converges using the following two different
approaches.
(a) Show that the sequence (sn) of partial sums,
sn = a1 − a2 + a3 − · · · ± an
is a Cauchy sequence
Alternating Series Test. Let (an) be...
