Assuming it meets necessary criteria, what would prove convergence of using Cauchy's Convergence Criterion?
Verifying there's an integer “K” such that the succession difference between items above “K” stays within ε/2.
Determining there’s an integer "M" such that when "m" exceeds "M", each term remains constant or decreases.
Showing there’s a number "N" so every sum over "N" has its absolute value less than any small positive number ε chosen.
Confirming there's some large enough integer “J” where adding any numbers past “J” results in differences under ε squared.
How does one determine for the polar equation as approaches ?

What condition must be satisfied for the Alternating Series Test to confirm that an alternating series converges?
Terms increase in absolute value without bound as n increases.
Each term is greater than the sum of all subsequent terms combined.
Terms alternate between positive integers only throughout the entire series.
Terms decrease in absolute value, approaching zero asymptotically.
