<strong>Determine</strong> <strong>if</strong><br />

<strong>Series</strong> <strong>Convergence</strong> <strong>Practice</strong> <strong>Problems</strong><br />

∞∑<br />

i=1<br />

a n<br />

converges or diverges. Just<strong>if</strong>y your <strong>an</strong>swer.<br />

1.<br />

a n = − n3<br />

2 n<br />

Converges absolutely, use ratio or root test.<br />

2.<br />

( ) n n + 2<br />

a n =<br />

n<br />

Diverges, calculate lim n→∞ a n .<br />

3.<br />

a n =<br />

n 5/7<br />

3n 13/7 + 4<br />

Converges, compare to 1/n p<br />

4.<br />

a 1 = 1, a n+1 = −<br />

n<br />

n + 1 a n<br />

Converges, write out a n in terms of n <strong>an</strong>d use alternating series test.


5.<br />

Converges, use ratio test.<br />

a n = 3n (n!) 2<br />

(2n)!
