Infinite series convergence III

In summary, for Problem #5, you will need to use the ratio test to determine convergence. For Problem #6, you will need to use the limit comparison test to determine convergence.

Test these for convergence.

5.
infinity
E...((n!)^2((2n)!)^2)/((n^2 + 2n)!(n + 1)!)
n = 0

6.
infinity
E...(1 - e ^ -((n^2 + 3n))/n)/(n^2)
n = 3

note: for #3: -((n^2 + 3n))/n) is all to the power of e

Btw, E means sum.

Which tests should I use to solve these?

Rather than posing a series of similar questions, you should apply the help given to you on one thread to attempt the other problems.

What do you mean by #3 ? , maybe you meant the question you posted earlier. Not writing the sums in LaTeX makes it so difficult to interpret !

Moderator note: I renumbered the problems so as to have no more than two problems in a thread. The #3 should be a #6. It's Problem #6.
 

Related to Infinite series convergence III

1. What is the definition of convergence for an infinite series?

The definition of convergence for an infinite series is when the sum of all the terms in the series approaches a finite value as the number of terms increases to infinity.

2. How can I determine if an infinite series converges or diverges?

To determine if an infinite series converges or diverges, you can use various tests such as the ratio test, comparison test, or integral test. These tests involve evaluating certain properties of the series, such as the growth rate of the terms, to determine its convergence or divergence.

3. What is the difference between absolute and conditional convergence of an infinite series?

Absolute convergence means that the infinite series converges regardless of the order in which the terms are added. On the other hand, conditional convergence means that the series only converges if the terms are added in a specific order. In other words, the rearrangement of terms can change the sum of a conditionally convergent series.

4. Can an infinite series converge to an infinite value?

No, an infinite series cannot converge to an infinite value. By definition, convergence means that the sum of the terms approaches a finite value as the number of terms increases to infinity. If the sum approaches infinity, then the series is said to diverge.

5. How does the rate of convergence affect the convergence of an infinite series?

The rate of convergence does not determine whether an infinite series converges or diverges, but it does affect how quickly the series approaches its limiting value. Generally, a faster rate of convergence is desired as it indicates that the series is approaching its limit more quickly.
