HW Chapter 11

Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why.

If it is false, explain why or give an example that disproves the statement.
1. If lim n l ⬁ a n 苷 0, then 冘 a n is convergent.
2. The series 冘⬁n苷1 n ⫺sin 1 is convergent.
3. If lim n l ⬁ a n 苷 L, then lim n l ⬁ a 2n⫹1 苷 L.
4. If 冘 cn 6 n is convergent, then 冘 cn共⫺2兲n is convergent.
5. If 冘 cn 6 n is convergent, then 冘 cn共⫺6兲n is convergent.
6. If 冘 cn x n diverges when x 苷 6, then it diverges when x 苷 10.
7. The Ratio Test can be used to determine whether 冘 1兾n 3
converges.
8. The Ratio Test can be used to determine whether 冘 1兾n!
converges.
9. If 0 艋 a n 艋 bn and 冘 bn diverges, then 冘 a n diverges.
