Prove Theorem 7.25. That is, show that the series either both converge or both diverge. In addition, show that if converges to L, thenconverges tolocalid="1652718360109"
Given a series , in general the divergence test is inconclusive when . For a geometric series, however, if the limit of the terms of the series is zero, the series converges. Explain why.
Express each of the repeating decimals in Exercises 71–78 as a geometric series and as the quotient of two integers reduced to lowest terms.
Examples: Construct examples of the thing(s) described in the following. Try to find examples that are different than any in the reading.
(a) A divergent series in which .
(b) A divergent p-series.
(c) A convergent p-series.
