Q. Consider the two series
and
.


If
and
,
the divergence test tells us that
Both A and B converge.
A diverges and B converges.
A diverges and B may either diverge or converge.
A may either diverge or converge and B converges.
Q. Consider the series
. In order to use the Alternating Series Test, which of the following conditions must apply?

(I) must be an alternating series
(II) |an + 1| < |an|
(III) |an + 1| > |an|
(IV)
I only
I and IV
I, II, and IV
I, III, and IV
Q. Consider the alternating series
What is the error bound for the 5th partial sum?




Q. Which series can not have its convergence or divergence determined by using the ratio test?




Q. Consider the picture shown below.
Assume that diverges and
converges.
Which of the following statements is true?
The series
converges.

The series
diverges.

The series
converges.

The series
diverges.

Q. Consider two series:
(I)
(II)
By using the comparison test with the harmonic series for comparison, we can show that
(I) diverges
(II) diverges
both (I) and (II) diverge
neither (I) nor (II) diverge
Q. Suppose
and
both converge. Then



The series
converges.
