Jan 1, 2021 · I'd like to ask, if my below proof for the ratio test for the convergence of an infinite series is technically correct and rigorous. $\newcommand {\absval} [1] {\left\lvert #1 \right\rvert}$ Given a ...

Sep 9, 2023 · 1 See @Henry's comment, you are doing the root test wrong. The root and ratio tests are not equivalent: the root test is more difficult to compute but also more powerful: whenever the ratio …

Aug 23, 2020 · I've been taught that the ratio test proves absolute convergence when the limit test does not but I've been confused about why is that. The limit test, in my mind, gives the final value which is …

Apr 7, 2020 · The limit I get is $0$. I know that if the limit approaches a value less than $1$, then I can say that the series converges. But here although $0 < 1$, I'm not sure if approaching a ratio of $0$ …

Mar 16, 2013 · The ratio test is strictly weaker than the root test in the sense that if the ratio test gives an answer, then so does the root test and they are the same. However, as the other answers show, …

May 1, 2018 · The ratio test is fine, assuming you applied absolute values when using the ratio test, since the ratio test requires the terms to be strictly positive. This works because absolute …

Here’s how to approach this question To determine the convergence or divergence of the series ∑ n 3 8 n using the Ratio Test, calculate the limit of the ratio a n + 1 a n. Start by defining a n = n 3 8 n and …

Nov 28, 2024 · The ratio test limit is $1$ for every $p$-series, so pick a value of $p$ such that the ratios are always less than $1$ and the $p$-series does not converge.
