14. Sequences & Series

Use the divergence test to determine if the following series diverge or state that the test is inconclusive. 

${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\sin \left(\frac{n\pi }{2}\right)$

Use the divergence test to determine if the following series diverge or state that the test is inconclusive. 

${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{10}^n}{n!}$

Use the divergence test to determine if the following series diverge or state that the test is inconclusive. 

${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{n^2}{n(n^2-1000)}$

Explain why the integral test does not apply to the series.

${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{(-1)}^n}{\ln n}$

What comparison series would you use with the Comparison Test to determine whether

∑ (k = 1 to ∞) 1 / (k² + 1) converges?

What comparison series would you use with the Comparison Test to determine whether ∑ (k = 1 to ∞) 2ᵏ / (3ᵏ + 1) converges?

What comparison series would you use with the Limit Comparison Test to determine whether ∑ (k = 1 to ∞) (k² + k + 5) / (k³ + 3k + 1) converges?

9–36. Comparison tests Use the Comparison Test or the Limit Comparison Test to determine whether the following series converge.
