Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.

Part (a): If the sequenceanconverges, then the series∑n=1∞anconverges.

Part (b): If a series ∑k=1∞akdiverges and Snis its sequence of partial sums, then limn→∞Sn=∞.

Part (c): If two series localid="1649656219815" ∑k=1∞ak,∑k=1∞bkboth diverge, then the series ∑k=1∞ak+bkdiverges.

Part (d): If ∑k=1∞ak,∑k=1∞bk are two convergent series, then for any real numbers c and d, ∑k=1∞cak+dbk=c∑k=1∞ak+d∑k=1∞bk.

Part (e): If the series ∑k=0∞an+kconverges to 5, then the series ∑k=100∞akconverges to a value L<5.

Part (f): If the series ∑k=N∞akconverges, then ∑k=N∞ak=∑k=0∞an+k.

Part (g): If a geometric series ∑k=0∞crkconverges, then limk→∞crk=0.

Part (h): The series ∑k=1∞akwhere a1=4,ak+1=ak2for k>1, converges to7.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

The sequence an=1nis a convergent sequence and converges to 0.

The series ∑k=1∞1k is a harmonic series and by p-series test the series ∑k=1∞1kis divergent.

Therefore, if the sequence anconverges, then ∑k=1∞anconverges is not true.

Hence, the given statement is false.

02

Part (b) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

The series ∑k=1∞1k is a harmonic series and by p-series test the series ∑k=1∞1kis divergent.

Consider the sequence Sn=1n.

The sequence an=1nis a convergent sequence and converges to 0.

Therefore, if the series ∑k=1∞akdiverges, then Snis its sequence of partial sums, then limn→∞Sn=∞is not true.

Hence, the given statement is false.

03

Part (c) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

Consider the geometric series,∑k=0∞ak=∑k=0∞1.

The series ∑k=0∞1is a geometric series with common ratio r=1, which is equal to 1.

The geometric series with ratio equal to 1is divergent.

Therefore, ∑k=0∞ak=∑k=0∞1is divergent.

Again, consider the geometric series, ∑k=0∞bk=∑k=0∞-1.

The series ∑k=0∞bk=∑k=0∞-1is a geometric series with common ratio r=1, which is equal to 1.

The geometric series with ratio equal to 1is divergent.

Therefore, ∑k=0∞bk=∑k=0∞-1is divergent.

04

Part (c) Step 2. Consider the series ∑k=0∞ ak+bk.

Consider the series,∑k=0∞ak+bk.

∑k=0∞ak+bk=∑k=0∞1+-1=∑k=0∞0=0

The partial sum of series ∑k=0∞0is a constant and hence, it is convergent.

Therefore, localid="1649657986051" ∑k=0∞ak+bk=∑k=0∞0is convergent.

Hence, the given statement is false.

05

Part (d) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

The series ∑k=1∞ak,∑k=1∞bkare convergent.

Consider the series ∑k=1∞cak+dbk. Then,

∑k=1∞cak+dbk=ca1+db2+ca2+db2+ca3+db3+...=ca1+ca2+ca3+...+db1+db2+db3+...=ca1+a2+a3+...+db1+b2+b3+...=c∑k=1∞ak+d∑k=1∞bk

Hence, the given statement is true.

06

Part (e) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

As it is known the adding and deleting the terms from the series does not affect the convergence of the series.

Thus, if the series ∑k=0∞an+kconverges to 5, then the series ∑k=0∞an+kconverges to a value L<5is not true.

Hence, the given statement is false.

07

Part (f) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

As it is known the adding and deleting the terms from the series does not affect the convergence of the series.

Thus, if the series ∑k=N∞akconverges, then ∑k=N∞ak=∑k=0∞an+kis true.

Hence, the given statement is true.

08

Part (g) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

If a series is convergent, then the limit of the nth term is zero.

Thus, if a geometric series ∑k=0∞crkconverges, then limk→∞crk=0is true.

Hence, the given statement is true.

09

Part (h) Step 1. Determine if the statement is true or false.

The terms of the series ∑k=0∞akare given below,

role="math" localid="1649658885403" ∑k=0∞ak=4+42+422+...

The sum of the series is given below,

S∞=41-12=8

Thus, if the series ∑k=1∞akwhere a1=4,ak+1=ak2for k>1, converges to 7is not true.

Hence, the given statement is false.
