Comparison Test
Definition
Let and be positive-term series with (for large ). Then:
- If converges, so does .
- If diverges, so does .
(sigma): summation symbol.
(infinity): infinitely many terms.
Tips
- Compare with known convergent series (e.g., -series, geometric).
- Compare with known divergent series (e.g., harmonic).
Example
Example 1
Determine convergence of .
Solution: and converges (), so by comparison it converges.
练习题
练习 1
Determine convergence of .
思路:Compare with .
答案:收敛(convergence)。
