Changing the exponent on n from 1 to any number greater than or equal to one
Changing the exponent on n from 1 to exactly 2
Keeping the exponent on n as is without change
Changing the exponent on n from 1 to any number less than 1

is neither convergent nor divergent
Which test can determine if the series converges?

What does it mean for an infinite series to be convergent?
The terms of the series become zero as the number of terms increases.
The sum of its terms increases without bound.
The sum of its terms approaches a finite value.
Each term in the series is less than the one before it.
Which modification of an existing factor within Taylor Series expansion centered at x = a ensures its radius of convergence becomes zero?
Replacing factorial with raised to a higher power maintaining differentiability of f.
Increasing n by one in all terms while keeping f differentiable at x = a.
Making f non-differentiable at every point near x = a.
Decreasing x by half towards approaching limit near center 'a'.

Given a function represented by an alternating power series , which expression determines whether the series converges or diverges?
What conclusion can be drawn about a geometric series with common ratio ?
The geometric series diverges due to oscillation between terms when raised to higher powers of n.
The geometric series neither converges nor diverges but approaches an asymptote as n increases indefinitely.
The geometric series converges because the absolute value of r is less than one.
Convergence cannot be determined without knowing the first term of the geometric series.
