Study Notes
Convergence of Sequence and Series
- A sequence is a list of numbers in a specific order, whereas a series is the sum of the terms of a sequence
- Convergence of a sequence or series means that it approaches a finite limit as the number of terms increases
Tests for Convergence
- Comparison Test: If the series of absolute values of the terms of a given series converges, then the original series also converges
- Ratio Test: If the ratio of the nth term to the (n-1)th term is less than 1, the series converges
- Root Test: If the nth root of the absolute value of the nth term is less than 1, the series converges
- Raabe's Test: A series converges if the limit of n times the ratio of the nth term to the (n-1)th term is less than 1
Range of Convergence
- The range of convergence is the interval of values of x for which the series converges
- It is used to determine the values of x for which a power series converges
Convergence of Sequence and Series
- A sequence is a list of numbers in a specific order, while a series is the sum of the terms of a sequence.
- The convergence of a sequence or series is determined by whether it approaches a finite limit as the number of terms increases.
Tests for Convergence
- There are several tests to determine the convergence of a series, including:
- Comparison Test: compares the given series to a known convergent series.
- Ratio Test: determines convergence by examining the ratio of consecutive terms.

Tests for Convergence
- Comparison Test: Compares the given series with a known convergent or divergent series to determine its convergence
- Ratio Test: Tests for convergence by finding the ratio of successive terms and checking if it is less than 1
