THEOREM: (THE ALTERNATING SERIES TEST) ALTERNATING SERIES alternating decreasing lim = 0 convg Remark: The convergence tests that we have looked at so far apply only to series with positive terms. In this section and the next we learn how to deal with series whose terms are not necessarily positive. Of particular importance are alternating series, whose terms alternate in sign. Determine whether the series converges or diverges. Example:

THEOREM: (THE ALTERNATING SERIES ESTIMATION THEOREM) ALTERNATING SERIES satisfies the three conditions approximates the sum L of the series with an error whose absolute value is less than the absolute value of the first unused term the sum L lies between any two successive partial sums and the remainder, has the same sign as the first unused term. THEOREM: (THE ALTERNATING SERIES ESTIMATION THEOREM) satisfies the three conditions OR Example:

ALTERNATING SERIES The rule that the error is smaller than the first unused term is, in general, valid only for alternating series that satisfy the conditions of the Alternating Series Estimation Theorem. The rule does not apply to other types of series. REMARK: THEOREM: (THE ALTERNATING SERIES ESTIMATION THEOREM) satisfies the three conditions OR

REARRANGEMENTS Divergent If we rearrange the order of the terms in a finite sum, then of course the value of the sum remains unchanged. But this is not always the case for an infinite series. By a rearrangement of an infinite series we mean a series obtained by simply changing the order of the terms. Alternating Series, Absolute and Conditional Convergence
