Chapter 8 Sequences and Series (SQ)
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to...
Define and use explicit and recursive formulas for sequences.
Determine if a sequence is convergent, divergent, monotonic, or bounded, and compute limits of convergent sequences.
Compute the first few terms of a telescoping or geometric partial sum sequence, and find a closed form for this sequence, and compute its limit.
Determine if a geometric series converges, and if so, the value it converges to.
Use the divergence, alternating series, and integral tests to determine if a series converges or diverges.
Use the direct comparison and limit comparison tests to determine if a series converges or diverges.
Use the ratio and root tests to determine if a series converges or diverges.
Determine if a series converges absolutely or conditionally.
