  • Theorem (Alternating Series Test for Convergence)Letan be an alternating series.

    The alternating series is convergent ifboth of the following conditions hold:

    1 limn |an | = 0

    2 {|an |} is a decreasing sequence.

  • Theorem (Alternating Series Test for Convergence)Letan be an alternating series. The alternating series is convergent if

    both of the following conditions hold:

    1 limn |an | = 0

    2 {|an |} is a decreasing sequence.

  • Theorem (Alternating Series Test for Convergence)Letan be an alternating series. The alternating series is convergent if

    both of the following conditions hold:1 lim

    n |an | = 0

    2 {|an |} is a decreasing sequence.

  • Theorem (Alternating Series Test for Convergence)Letan be an alternating series. The alternating series is convergent if

    both of the following conditions hold:1 lim

    n |an | = 02 {|an |} is a decreasing sequence.

  • Remark1 If an alternating series does not satisfy the above conditions, you

    cannot conclude that the alternating series is divergent.

    2 If the first condition is not satisfied, use the divergence test to provethat the sequence is divergent.

  • Remark1 If an alternating series does not satisfy the above conditions, you

    cannot conclude that the alternating series is divergent.2 If the first condition is not satisfied, use the divergence test to prove

    that the sequence is divergent.

    |an | is convergent.2an is said to be conditionally convergent if

    an is convergent,

    but |an | is divergent.

    Question1 Is a conditionally convergent series convergent?2 Is an absolutely convergent series convergent?
