Use any convergence test from Sections 7.4–7.6 to determine whether the series in Exercises 41–59 converge or diverge. Explain why each series that meets the hypotheses of the test you select does so.

∑k=1∞k!1·3·5·7···(2k-1)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given series converges.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information.  

The given series is∑k=1∞k!1·3·5·7···(2k-1).

02

Step 2. Determine whether the given series converges or diverges.   

To determine whether the series converges or diverges we will use the ratio test since the series has positive terms that meet the hypothesis of the test.

Let the general term isak=k!1·3·5·7···(2k-1).

So,ak+1=k+1!1·3·5·7···(2k-1)2k+1.

By the ratio test,

ÒÏ=limk→∞ak+1akÒÏ=limk→∞k+1!1·3·5·7···(2k-1)2k+1k!1·3·5·7···(2k-1)ÒÏ=limk→∞k+1!k!2k+1ÒÏ=limk→∞k+1k!k!2k+1ÒÏ=limk→∞k+12k+1ÒÏ=12

Since role="math" localid="1649165126390" 12<1,the given series converges.

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.

(a) True or False: If ak→0, then ∑k=1∞akconverges.

(b) True or False: If ∑k=1∞akconverges, then ak→0.

(c) True or False: The improper integral ∫1∞f(x)dxconverges if and only if the series ∑k=1∞f(k)converges.

(d) True or False: The harmonic series converges.

(e) True or False: If p>1, the series ∑k=1∞k-pconverges.

(f) True or False: If f(x)→0as x→∞, then ∑k=1∞f(k) converges.

(g) True or False: If ∑k=1∞f(k)converges, then f(x)→0as x→∞.
