When a series converges, it means that the infinite sum of its terms approaches a finite number as the number of terms increases. In other words, the sum of the terms in the series gets closer and closer to a specific value as more terms are added.
There are several tests that can be used to determine if a series converges or diverges, such as the ratio test, the comparison test, and the integral test. These tests compare the given series to a known convergent or divergent series to determine its behavior.
Absolute convergence refers to a series where the sum of the absolute values of its terms is convergent. Conditional convergence refers to a series where the sum of its terms is convergent, but the sum of the absolute values of its terms is divergent. In other words, in conditional convergence, the series only converges when certain terms are added in a specific order.
No, a series can either converge or diverge, but not both at the same time. If a series diverges, it means that the sum of its terms approaches infinity as the number of terms increases. If a series converges, it means that the sum of its terms approaches a finite number as the number of terms increases.
The limit comparison test compares the given series to a known series and takes the limit of the ratio of their terms. If the limit is a finite positive number, then the given series converges if and only if the known series also converges. If the limit is zero or infinite, the test is inconclusive and another test must be used to determine the convergence of the given series.
