Question

how can you determin if a series is convergent or divergent Calc 2

Answer 1

Also there are certain tests to check for series

Answer 2

hold on so its monotone when its increasing or decreasing right??

Answer 3

right monotone works only for sequences though my bad

Answer 4

ok i remember reading that in my notes but now how does it work when its a series??

Answer 5

For series, you have certain tests which help like integral test, root test, ratio test

Answer 6

In general, for the series you find a partial sum from n = 1 to n = N and see if that partial sum converges. If it does, then the series also converges.
