Comparison Tests

AP Calculus · Axiom Academy

Comparing series to known convergent or divergent series If where , then and either both converge or both diverge. Example: Does converge? Compare with : . Since converges (p-series, p=2 ), so does our series. DCT: compare term-by-term with a known series LCT: compare the ratio of terms (often easier) Compare with geometric or p-series
