Use the divergence test to analyze the given series. Each answer should either be the series diverges or the divergence test fails, along with the reason for your answer.
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.

True/False:
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 , then converges.
(b) True or False: If converges, then .
(c) True or False: The improper integral converges if and only if the series converges.
(d) True or False: The harmonic series converges.
(e) True or False: If , the series converges.
(f) True or False: If as , then converges.
(g) True or False: If converges, then as .
(h) True or False: If and is the sequence of partial sums for the series, then the sequence of remainders converges to .
If a positive finite number, what may we conclude about the two series?
