Use the Ratio Test Æ lim = lim = < 1
nÆ • n+1
n! nÆ • 3
So the series is Absolutely Convergent

2. Use the Direct Comparison Test not the Limit Comparison Test to determine if the following series converges or diverges

n=3 2 n2 + 3 ln n + 0.8n

The dominating term in the numerator is 3 n and the dominating term in the denominator is 4 n2 so
3
it looks like the series is related to a p - series with a p - value of Since we think that the series converges, we now
2
need to find a simpler, larger, related p - series that also converges

2 n 2 3 3
4n 4 4 n=3
n 2 n 2

p - series with p > 1, then the original series must also Converge by the Direct Comparison Test

3. Let f be a function that has derivatives of all orders for all real numbers. Assume that
f 6 = -3, f ¢ 6 = 4, f ¢ ¢ 6 = 8, f ¢ ¢ ¢ 6 = -24, f 4 6 = 16, and f 5 6 = -96.

0! 1! 2! 3! 4!

P4 x = -3 + 4 x - 6 + 4 x - 62 - 4 x - 63 + x - 64

Start with the Ratio Test Æ lim = < 1 Æ
