Infinite series and convergence tests

Geometric, p-series, ratio and comparison tests, alternating series.

A series converges if its partial sums settle. Geometric series converge for |r| < 1; p-series for p > 1; the ratio test decides most series with factorials or powers. Picture it: the partial sums as a sequence creeping toward a ceiling. Think it: convergence is a statement about tails: what happens after any finite start is irrelevant.

Convergence of n/2^n

2^{- n} n

चरणद्वारा चरण

  1. \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 2^{- n} n

    Does this series converge?

  2. \lim_{n\to\infty} 2^{- n} n = 0

    Divergence test: if the terms do not go to 0 the series cannot converge.

  3. \lim \left|\frac{a_{k+1}}{a_k}\right| = \lim \frac{\left|{\frac{n + 1}{n}}\right|}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

    Ratio test: < 1 converges, > 1 diverges, = 1 says nothing.

  4. = 2

    It converges, and the CAS knows the sum.

प्रश्नहरू मानिसहरूले सोध्छन्

What is a derivative in one sentence?

The slope of the graph at a point, the rate at which the output is changing there. Speed is the derivative of position.

What is an integral in one sentence?

The accumulated total of a rate: the area under the curve. Distance travelled is the integral of speed.

Why are derivatives and integrals opposites?

That is the fundamental theorem of calculus: accumulating a rate and then measuring how fast the accumulation grows gets you back the rate. Integration undoes differentiation up to a constant.

When do I use substitution and when integration by parts?

Substitution when part of the integrand is the derivative of another part (u and du both present). Parts when the integrand is a product of two unrelated kinds of function, a polynomial times an exponential, log or trig function.
