For a given sequence how to determine if convergent or divergent
limit dne = divergent
limit exists then convergent
What is the formula for telescoping series and how to find the sum
sum of (f(n)- f(n+1))
find the partial sum sn by finding n=starting term and k=n-1 and k=2
then find the formula for sn
take the limit as n approaches infinity for sum
formula for geometric series and rules for convergence
how to find sum
sum of a*r^n-1 or ar^n
converges when r is between -1 and 1
divergent when greater than or equal to 1
sum is a/1-r
Formula for alternating series and rules of convergence
(-1)^n-1 * an or sum of (-1)^k
if an+1 is less than or equal to an
and lim an=0 then the series converges
ratio test vs root test
divergence test
p series
integral test
comparison test vs limit comparison tes
absolute convergence
Integration by parts
u*v * integral of v
trigonometric integrals sin and cos
if power of sin is odd keep 1 din and use pythagorean theorem sin2x+1-cos2x
if cos is odd then use cos2x=1-sin2x
If both even use half angle
sin2x=1/2(1-cos2x)
trig integrals tan and sec
if tan is odd keep 1 factor of tanxsecx and use tan2x=sec2x-1
if sec is even strip off sec2x and use sec2x=1+tan2x
integration by partial fractions
improper integrals
sum for k
sum for k2
sum for k3
area under curve steps
b-a/n
find xk= a+k times delta x
find the sum of f(xk) times delta x
then take the lim of the sum
area between curves formula and steps
integral from a to b of f(x)-g(x)dx
