SUMMARY OF TESTS Special Series: Series Tests • Geometric Series • Harmonic Series • Telescoping Series • Alter Harmonic • p-series • Alternating p-series • Divergence Test • Integral Test • Comparison Test • Limit Compar Test • Ratio Test • Root Test • Alter Series Test
Types of questions in the exam 1) Determine whether convg or divg AC,CC 2) Find the sum s 4-types 5) Partial sums and their properties 4) How many terms are needed within error
PART-1: Series with positive terms STRATEGY FOR TESTING SERIES • Divg Test • factorial: ratio test comp+lim comp • power of n: root test • easy to integrate: integral test • similar to geometric: try comp+lim comp • Similar to p-series: try comp+lim comp PART-2: Alternating Series • Study (use PART-1) convg divg use alt.-Test AC convg divg CC PART-3: Series with some negative terms REMARK: For multiple-choice-question: before you start read the alternatives first. It guides you to which tests you need to use. • Study (use PART-1) convg divg AC
