    Convergence of a series

    A series converges if the sum of its terms approaches a finite value as the number of terms increases.

    Divergence of a series

    A series diverges if the sum of its terms either increases infinitely or oscillates without settling down to one specific value.

    Absolute Convergence

    An infinite series converges absolutely if the series formed by taking the absolute values of its terms also converges.

    Conditional Convergence

    An infinite series converges conditionally if the series converges but the series of absolute values diverges.

    Study Notes

    True or False Questions

    • If the limit of a sequence as n approaches infinity is 0, then the series is convergent. False. This statement is false; a convergent series does not necessarily require the limit of the sequence to be zero.

    • The series Σ((-1)^n)/(n!) from n=0 to ∞ is equal to e. True.

    • If f(x) = 2x - x³/3 + x⁵/… , then f"(0) =2. True.

    • If x = f(t) and y = g(t) are twice differentiable, then d²y/dx² = d²y/dt² / d²x/dt². True.

    • The vector (3, -1, 2) is parallel to the plane 6x - 2y + 4z = 1. False. The vector is perpendicular to the plane.

    Evaluating Series

    • The series Σ((-3)^(n-1))/(2^(3n)) from n=1 to ∞ is convergent and equal to 1/8.
