Determine whether each of the statements that follow true or false . if a statement is true, explain why. if a statement is false , provide a counter example .

a) True or False : if 0≤f(x)≤g(x) for every x >0 and the improper integral ∫0∞g(x)dxconverges, then the improper integral ∫0∞f(x)dx converges.

Step by step solution

01

a) step 1

Consider the statement :"if 0≤f(x)≤g(x)for every x> 0 and the improper integral ∫0∞g(x)dxconverges then the improper integral ∫0∞f(x)dx converges".

To determine whether the statement is true or false .

The improper integral ∫0∞g(x)dxis convergent .

∫0∞g(x)dx=A

Given that 0≤f(x)≤g(x)

0≤∫0∞f(x)dx≤∫0∞g(x)dx

∫0∞f(x)dx≤A

The improper integral ∫0∞f(x)dxconverges

Hence the statement is true.

02

b) step 1: 

consider the statement :" if 0≤f(x)≤g(x)for every x>0 andlimx→∞f(x)g(x)=3 then the improper integral ∫0∞g(x)dxand∫0∞f(x)dxboth converge

To determine whether the statement is true or false

Consider g(x)=1x2andf(x)=3x2

The value of limx→∞f(x)g(x)=limx→∞3=3

03

b) step2 

but the integrals,∫0∞g(x)dx=∫0∞1x2and∫0∞f(x)dx=∫0∞3x2 diverges

Hence the statement is false

04

c) step 1 

Consider the statement : " if 0≤ak<1kfor every positive integer k, then the series ∑k=1∞akconverges"

To determine whether the given statement is true or false

using comparison test ,

It states that ∑k=1∞akand∑k=1∞bkbe two series with positive terms such that 0≤ak≤bkfor every positive integer k.

If the series ∑bkk=1∞converges , then the series ∑k=1∞akalso converges .

05

c) step 2

The series ∑k=1∞bk=∑k=1∞1kis divergent by the p-series,

The series ∑k=1∞akis divergent.

Hence the statement is false .

06

d) step1

Consider the statement "if 1k2<bkfor every positive integer k ,then the series ∑k=1∞bkdiverges .

To determine whether the given statement is true or false.

using comparison test

It states that ∑k=1∞akand∑k=1∞bkbe two series with positive terms such that 0≤ak≤bkfor every positive integer k . if the series ∑k=1∞bkconverges then The series ∑k=1∞akalso converges.

07

d) step 2 

The test fails to determine the converges and diverges of the series ∑k=1∞bk.

We cannot be said the behavior of ∑k=1∞bkif 1k2<bkholds

Hence the statement is false .

08

e) step 1

Consider the statement if ak≤bkfor every positive integer k and the series ∑k=1∞bkconverges , then the series ∑k=1∞akconverges

To determine whether the statement is true or false.

Consider the series ∑k=1∞bk=1k2and∑k=1∞ak=-1k

Clearly ak≤bkholds as:

-1k<1k2fork>0

09

e) step 2

The series ∑k=1∞bk=1k2is convergent by the p-series test and the series ∑k=1∞ak=-1kis divergent by the p-series test

Ifak≤bkfor every positive integer k and the series ∑k=1∞bkconverges , then The series ∑k=1∞akconverge is false

Hence the statement is false.

10

f) step 1

Consider the statement " if the series ∑k=1∞bkand∑k=1∞akboth diverge then ∑k=1∞(ak·bk)diverge

To determine whether the statement is true or false

Consider the series ∑k=1∞bk=1kand∑k=1∞ak=1k
∑k=1∞bk=1kand∑k=1∞ak=1kare divergent by p-series test.

∑k=1∞(ak.bk)=∑k=1∞1k2is convergent by the p-series test

Then series ∑akk=1∞and∑k=1∞bkare convergent by the p-series and ∑k=1∞(ak.bk)is not convergent.

Hence the statement is false

11

g) step 1

Consider the statement " if akandbkare both positive for every positive integer k and limk→∞akbk=12then ∑k=1∞bkand∑akk=1∞both converges .

To determine whether given statement is true or false

ak=1kandbk=2k

The value of

limk→∞akbk=limk→∞12=12

∑akk=1∞=∑k=1∞1kand∑bkk=1∞=∑k=1∞1kare both divergent

Hence the statement is false.

12

h) step 1

Consider the statement : " if ∑k=1∞bkand∑k=1∞akboth converge, thenlimk→∞akbk is finite

To determine whether the statement is true or false

13

h) step 2 

Consider ak=1k2andbk=1k3

∑k=1∞ak=∑k=1∞1k2and∑k=1∞bk=∑k=1∞1k3are both convergent the power series .

14

h) step 3

The value of limk→∞akbk=limk→∞k3k2=limk→∞k=∞

15

h) step  4

∑k=1∞ak=∑k=1∞1k2and∑k=1∞bk=∑k=1∞1k3are both convergent but it does not have finite limits

Hence the statement is false .
