(14 cards)
1/1+x series
1 - x + x^2 - x^3 … (-x)^n
1/1-x series
1 + x + x^2 + x^3 … x^n
e^x series
1 + x + x^2/2! + x^3/3! … x^n/n!
sinx series
x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! … (-1)^n•x^2n+1/(2n+1)!
cosx series
1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! … (-1)^n• x^2n/(2n)!
ln(x+1) series
x - x^2/2 + x^3/3 … (-1)^n•x^n+1/(n+1)
p test
a to infinity: converges if a is positive and p>1
0 to a: converges if a is positive and 0<p<1
ratio test
limit as n -> infinity of an+1/an = r
if -1<r<1, series converges
Lagrange remainder
|f(x)-Pn(x)| = Rn(x) < fn+1(c)(x-a)^n+1 / (n+1)!
alternating series test
series must be alternating and the limit as n approaches infinity of |an| must be 0, series converges
alternating harmonic series
converges to ln2
harmonic series
diverges
absolute convergence
convergence does not depend on if the series alternates (converges either way)
conditional convergence
convergence depends on if the series alternates (if it didn’t alternate, it would diverge)
ex: alternating harmonic
