Converge vs. Diverge Flashcards
If the terms of a sequence don’t approach 0
What is a geometric series?
When does it converge and when does it diverge?
What is a p-series?
When does it converge and when does it diverge?
What is the TEST FOR DIVERGENCE?
When does it converge and when does it diverge?
What is the INTEGRAL TEST?
When does it converge and when does it diverge?
What are the conditions of the integral test?
series must be decreasing and continuous
What are 3 tests used to show that a series is decreasing?
What is an infinite geometric series?
When does it converge and when diverge?
What is the LIMIT COMPARISON TEST?
use another series to compare to
What is the COMPARISON TEST?
compare to another series
When do you use the comp/limit comp tests?
For infinite geometric series or something that resembles the p-series
If a series has negative terms, which tests do you use?
ABSOLUTE CONV TEST and/or ALTERNATING SERIES TEST
What is the ABSOLUTE CONV TEST?
What is the ALTERNATING SERIES TEST?
What is the RATIO TEST?
