Integral Test
Definition
Let be continuous, decreasing, and nonnegative on with . Then and converge or diverge together.
(sigma): summation symbol.
(infinity): infinitely many terms.
: integral symbol.
converges or diverges with when and is continuous, decreasing, and nonnegative on .
When to use
- Terms come from a nice continuous function.
- Other tests are awkward.
Example
Example 1
Determine convergence of .
Solution: ; , so the series diverges.
练习题
练习 1
Determine convergence of .
思路:Use the integral test with .
答案:积分发散,级数发散。
