Convergence Theorems

3.1

Integral test

If f is continuous,
positive and decreasing on [1, ) then
R
if and only if 1 f (x)dx converges.

3.2

P
1

f (k) converges

Basic Comparison theorem

P

Suppose that ak and bk are series with non negative terms and
P
bk for all k sufficiently large.
1. If

bk converges, then

2. If

ak diverges, then

3.3

ak

ak converges.

bk diverges.

Limit Comparison Theorem

Suppose that ak and bk are series with positive terms. If ak /bk L and
P
P
L is positive, then ak converges if and only if ak converges.
P

3.4

Root test
P

Let

ak be a series with non negative terms, and suppose that (ak )1/k .

1. If < 1, the

ak converges.

2. If > 1, the

ak diverges.

3. If = 1, the test is inconclusive.

3.5
Let

Ratio Test

ak be a series with non negative terms, and suppose that ak+1 /ak .

1. If < 1, the

ak converges.

2. If > 1, the

ak diverges.

3. If = 1, the test is inconclusive.

3.6
If

Other useful results
