Section 10.3 – The Integral Test Positive Series: A series whose elements are non-negative. The Integral Test: Let f be a continuous, positive and decreasing function and for all positive integers, then converges iff the improper integral converges If the improper integral diverges, then the series diverges.
Section 10.3 – The Integral Test Example:
Section 10.3 – The Integral Test Positive Series p-Series p is a constant If p is 1, then the series converges. If p is 1, then the series diverges.
Section 10.3 – The Integral Test Positive Series Examples: converges diverges
Section 10.3 – The Integral Test Positive Series Harmonic Series diverges
Section 10.4 – Comparison Tests Positive Series Comparison Test (Ordinary Comparison Test) Let be a positive series. If is a positive convergent series and ,then the series converges. is a positive divergent series and ,then If the series diverges.
Section 10.4 – Comparison Tests Positive Series Examples: is a geometric series. is a convergent geometric series. is a convergent series.
