Calculus II (MAT 146) Dr. Day Monday, April 9, 2018 Series Worth Remembering (11.2) Your First Tests For Convergence! (11.2, 11.3) The Divergence Test (11.2) The Integral Test (11.3) The p-Series Test (11.3) Monday, April 9, 2018 MAT 146
Fact or Fiction? (1) If the series 𝑛=1 ∞ 𝑎 𝑛 is convergent, then lim 𝑛→∞ 𝑎 𝑛 =0. (2) If lim 𝑛→∞ 𝑎 𝑛 =0, then the series 𝑛=1 ∞ 𝑎 𝑛 is convergent. (3) If lim 𝑛→∞ 𝑎 𝑛 does not exist or if lim 𝑛→∞ 𝑎 𝑛 ≠0, then the series 𝑛=1 ∞ 𝑎 𝑛 is divergent. Monday, April 9, 2018 MAT 146
