THE COMPARISON TESTS THEOREM: (THE LIMIT COMPARISON TEST) both series converge or both diverge. With positive terms Example: Determine whether the series converges or diverges.
THE COMPARISON TESTS THEOREM: (THE LIMIT COMPARISON TEST) both series converge or both diverge. and Converge, then convg With positive terms and divg, then divg Example: Example: Determine whether the series converges or diverges. Determine whether the series converges or diverges. REMARK: Notice that in testing many series we find a suitable comparison series by keeping only the highest powers in the numerator and denominator.
