4 TESTS OF CONVERGENCE AND

DIVERGENCE
Result (1): If Zu, be a convergent series or positive
terms. thenn it necessun is
follows that lim u,=0

Result (2): If Eu, is a convergent series of

positive and decreasin
then it necessarily follows
tems,
lim nu,=0

1. Comparison Test: Let and

2, 2v,, be two infinite
series of posithe
terms. If lim =k, a non-zero finite quantity, then the
n V series are bod
convergent or both divergent. (If lim n =
non-zero finite
n0Vn
quantity, then i
2, is convergent, 2u, is convergent and if Zv. is divergent, Z, is
divergeni
