Infinite Sequences and Series (BC Only)
Which result suggests that the Ratio Test for the series is inconclusive?
The test is inconclusive.
The limit does not exist.
The series converges.
The series diverges.
In parametric equations, what represents the velocity vector of an object moving along a path given by ?
For which values of does the series converge according to the ratio test?
The series converges only at x = -3 and diverges otherwise.
The series converges for and diverges for .
The series converges for all real numbers except x = -3 due to asymptotic behavior near that point.
The series converges when absolute value of is less than or equal to one-half ().
What is the standard formula for calculating the area under a curve defined by parametric equations and ?
If a sequence is of the form where is greater than or equal to 1, which convergence test should you use to determine the convergence or divergence of the series?
Geometric Series
Telescoping Series
Alternating Series
P-Series
What is true when you apply ratio tests?
Converge if
Converge if
Diverge if
Diverge if
What effect would replacing every instance of n with in only numerator terms within an alternating series sum having general term , where both constants are positive, have on its absolute convergence tested via ratio test?
No effect because alternation doesn't change absolute convergence tests outcomes.
Results in divergence due to increased growth rate causing higher limit values.
Results in conditional but not absolute convergence owing to more rapid oscillations.
Depends on relative sizes α compared b+c̅ raises questions about rate changes versus base increase effects.

When using the Ratio Test on the series , what value of will ensure convergence?
For a series represented by , what happens if we replace it with a series given by ?
Convergence changes from divergent to convergent as exponential growth outpaces factorial growth.
The new series diverges faster because both numerator and denominator grow at faster rates individually.
Convergence properties remain unchanged because both series exhibit similar behavior for large values of n.
Convergence changes from convergent to divergent as factorial growth outpaces exponential growth.
If the series , where is a positive constant, were subjected to the Ratio Test, what would be the range of values for which this series converges?
