1. A geometric series with | r | <1 converges
2. A repeating decimal converges
3. Telescoping series converge
A necessary condition for convergence:Limit as n goes to infinity for nth term in sequence is 0.
nth term test for divergence:If the limit as n goes to infinity for the nth term is not 0, the series DIVERGES!

A series of non-negative terms convergesIf its partial sums are bounded from above.
A sequence in which each term is less than or equal to the one before it is called a monotonic non-increasing sequence. If each term is greater than or equal to the one before it, it is called monotonic non-decreasing.
A monotonic sequence that is boundedIs convergent.
12. 3 The Integral Test
Let {an} be a sequence of positive terms. Suppose that an = f(n) where f is a continuous positive, decreasing function of x for all xN. Then the series and the corresponding integral shown both converge of both diverge.

Absolute and Conditional Convergence
• A series is absolutely convergent if the
corresponding series of absolute values converges.
• A series that converges but does not converge absolutely,
converges conditionally.
• Every absolutely convergent series converges. (Converse
is false!!!)

Convergence of a Power Series
There are three possibilities 1)There is a positive number R such that the
series diverges for |x-a|>R but converges for |x-a|<R. The series may or may not converge at the endpoints, x = a - R and x = a + R.
2)The series converges for every x. (R = .)
3)The series converges at x = a and diverges elsewhere. (R = 0)
