Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the ratio test for convergence?
- If the limit of the ratio of consecutive terms of the sequence is less than 1, then the sequence is convergent.
- If the limit of the ratio of consecutive terms of the sequence is greater than 1, then the sequence is divergent.
- If the limit of the ratio of consecutive terms of the sequence is equal to 1, then the sequence may be convergent or divergent.
- None of the above
Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the root test for convergence?
- If the limit of the nth root of the absolute value of the nth term of the sequence is less than 1, then the sequence is convergent.
- If the limit of the nth root of the absolute value of the nth term of the sequence is greater than 1, then the sequence is divergent.
- If the limit of the nth root of the absolute value of the nth term of the sequence is equal to 1, then the sequence may be convergent or divergent.
- None of the above
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the comparison test for convergence?
- If the sequence is bounded above by a convergent sequence, then the sequence is convergent.
- If the sequence is bounded below by a divergent sequence, then the sequence is divergent.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the limit comparison test for convergence?
- If the limit of the ratio of the nth term of the sequence to the nth term of a convergent sequence is a positive number, then the sequence is convergent.
- If the limit of the ratio of the nth term of the sequence to the nth term of a divergent sequence is a positive number, then the sequence is divergent.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Question 10 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the alternating series test for convergence?
- If the terms of the sequence are alternately positive and negative, and the absolute value of the terms is decreasing, then the sequence is convergent.
- If the terms of the sequence are alternately positive and negative, and the absolute value of the terms is increasing, then the sequence is divergent.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Question 11 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the absolute convergence test?
- If the sequence of absolute values of the terms of the sequence is convergent, then the sequence is absolutely convergent.
- If the sequence of absolute values of the terms of the sequence is divergent, then the sequence is conditionally convergent.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Question 12 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the conditional convergence test?
- If the sequence of absolute values of the terms of the sequence is divergent, then the sequence is conditionally convergent.
- If the sequence of absolute values of the terms of the sequence is convergent, then the sequence is absolutely convergent.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Question 13 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the squeeze theorem?
- If two sequences are both convergent to the same limit, and a third sequence is bounded above by the first sequence and bounded below by the second sequence, then the third sequence is convergent to the same limit.
- If two sequences are both divergent to infinity, and a third sequence is bounded above by the first sequence and bounded below by the second sequence, then the third sequence is divergent to infinity.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
Question 14 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)
What is the monotonic sequence theorem?
- A monotonic sequence that is bounded is convergent.
- A monotonic sequence that is unbounded is divergent.
- Both of the above
- None of the above
