Calc III Test 1 Flashcards
1
Q
Nth term Test
A
If the terms go to 0 the series could either converge or diverge. If terms don’t go to 0 the series definitely diverges.
2
Q
Geometric
A
Fixed Number Identity
A and R Rules
r<1
a/1-r
3
Q
Telescoping
A
1 term minus a similar term (end up cancelling out)
4
Q
Integral Test
A
Change n to “x”- Can we Integrate?
5
Q
Comparison Test
A
Guess right
Convergence- a ≤ and b converges
Divergence b≤a and b diverges
6
Q
Limit Comparison Test
A
lim n–>inf aN/bN= C>0 for large An/Bn=C –> An= C*bN
7
Q
P Series Rules
A
1/n^p
p ≤1- Diverges
p>1- Converges
