Infinite Sequences and Series (BC Only)
What is the outcome when Leibniz's test is used to assess convergence of the series instead of relying on the nth-Term test for Divergence?
The series diverges because Leibniz's test dictates that alternating terms must exhibit symmetrical behavior in effect.
Leibniz's test remains unhelpful due to lacking ability to predict behavior based on non-constant amplitude variations.
Series convergence cannot be assured without complementary methodology given the uncertainty over term-to-term discrepancy.
That series converges since Leibniz's criteria for alternating series are satisfied and the term decreases to zero.
Which of the following series can be said to converge based on the convergence of the series ?
Given two series and , which statement is true regarding their convergence?
Neither of the series converge.
Only the second series converges by the geometric series test.
Both series converge by p-series and geometric tests.
Only the first series converges by the p-series test.
Given the series for , which value of will change the series from convergent to divergent?

The first model with
Both models converge at the same rate.
Neither model will provide quick stabilization due to slow convergence.
The second model with
What conclusion can be drawn about the convergence of by comparing it to an appropriate geometric or p-series?
It diverges by comparison to a p-series because indicates divergence of terms involving powers of .
It converges by comparison to a p-series because satisfies .
It diverges by comparison to a geometric series since and acts as a common ratio.

For which values of will the comparison test confirm that the series converges?
A physicist analyzing quantum tunneling probability through varying energy barriers uses an infinite sequence defined by , identifying thresholds; how should she interpret conditionally convergent versus absolutely convergent outcomes regarding particle behavior predictions?
Absolute convergence implies limited energy ranges whereas conditional suggests broader predictability across all energies.
Neither type offers reliable predictions unless supplemented with experimental data.
Both types of convergence result in identical predictions for particle behavior across varied energies.
Conditional convergence implies limited energy ranges whereas absolute suggests broader predictability across all energies.
How does replacing with in the numerator of each term affect the convergence or divergence of ?
It changes from converging to diverging.
It changes from diverging to converging.
No effect; it remains diverging.
No effect; still ultimately converges.
