1 P-SERIES AND INTEGRAL TEST Sectio 9.3 Calcls BC AP/Dal, Revised 08 /4/08 0:8 PM 9.3: p-series ad Itegral Test

2 SUMMARY OF TESTS FOR SERIES Lookig at the first few terms of the seqece of partial sms may ot help s mch so we will lear the followig te tests to determie covergece or divergece: P A R R T I N G C p-series: Is the series i the form P? Alteratig series: Does the series alterate? If it does, are the terms gettig smaller, ad is the th term 0? Ratio Test: Does the series cotai thigs that grow very large as icreases (epoetials or factorials)? Root Test: Does the series cotai a radical? Telescopig series: Will all bt a cople of the terms i the series cacel ot? Itegral Test: Ca yo easily itegrate the epressio that defie the series? th Term divergece Test: Is the th term somethig other tha zero? Geometric series: Is the series of the form, σ =0 a r Compariso Tests: Is the series almost aother kid of series (e.g. p-series or geometric)? Which wold be better to se: Direct or Limit Compariso Test? /4/08 0:8 PM 9.3: p-series ad Itegral Test

3 P-SERIES TEST A. P i p-series rle is the epoet i the epoetial rle B. p-series is a series i the form of = = p p p 3 p p + where p is a positive costat C. The series will coverge if p > D. The series will diverge if p < Less Tha, Diverges /4/08 0:8 PM 9.3: p-series ad Itegral Test 3

4 EXAMPLE Use the p-series test to prove whether the series coverges or diverges, = 3 5/3. 3 5/3 p 5 5 ; p= ; 3 Series Coverges by the p-series Test /4/08 0:8 PM 9.3: p-series ad Itegral Test 4

8 INTEGRAL TEST A. Where f for ad a = f where σ = f ad f d : Remember PCD for Itegral Test ( PEOPLE COUNTING DOWN ). Positive: if graphed, above the -ais. Cotios: Use defiitio of polyomials or are cotios i their domai like e or l 3. Decreasig; takig the derivative 4. Aswer as: By the itegral test, sice f d coverges/diverges, the f coverges/diverges. σ = 5. I other words, as the improper itegral behaves, so does the series, ad vice versa. 6. This DOES NOT mea that the series coverges to the vale of the defiite itegral 7. The fctio eed oly be decreasig for all > k for some k. /4/08 0:8 PM 9.3: p-series ad Itegral Test 8
