Infinite Sequences and Series (BC Only)
Which of the following series can be said to converge based on the convergence of the series ?
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.
It converges by comparison to a geometric series since and acts as a common ratio.
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.

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.
