All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeProve Theorem 7.31. That is, show that if a function a is continuous, positive, and decreasing, and if the improper integral converges, then the nth remainder, , for the series is bounded by
Provide a more general statement of the integral test in which the function f is continuous and eventually positive, and decreasing. Explain why your statement is valid.
Which p-series converge and which diverge?
Let be any real number. Show that there is a rearrangement of the terms of the alternating harmonic series that converges to . (Hint: Argue that if you add up some finite number of the terms of , the sum will be greater than . Then argue that, by adding in some other finite number of the terms of
, you can get the sum to be less than . By alternately adding terms from these two divergent series as described in the preceding two steps, explain why the sequence of partial sums you are constructing will converge to .)
