Integral Test (IT)

Use the Integral Test to determine whether the series converges:

$$\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n^2+1}$$

Show your work. You must check that the test is applicable.

Direct Comparison Test (DCT)

Determine whether the series is convergent by using the Direct Comparison Test.

Show your work. You must check that the test is applicable.

(a) $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{1}{n^{1/3}+2^n}$ (b) $\sum _{k=2}^{\infty }\frac{\sqrt{k}}{k-1}$

Absolute and conditional convergence

Determine whether the series are absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or divergent.

Show your work. You must check applicability of tests.

(a) $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{(-1{)}^{n-1}}{n^{1/3}}$ (b) $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{(-1{)}^n{n}^4}{n^3+1}$

Alternating series: error estimation

Find the approximate value of $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{(-1{)}^{n-1}}{n!}$ such that the error $E_n$ satisfies $|E_n|<0.005$.
