Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through each problem one by one:
Problem 1
The given series is: This is a geometric series with the general term .
Since , this geometric series converges because, for geometric series, if the absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1, the series converges. The integral test is not necessary here as we can conclude convergence directly from the nature of the geometric series.
Answer: Συγκλίνει.
Problem 2
The given series is: This is an alternating series due to the factor. We can consider the Leibniz criterion (Alternating Series Test) to check for convergence. The series converges if:
-
is positive, decreasing, and
-
.
-
For , is positive and decreasing.
-
Taking the limit: by applying L'Hôpital's rule (since the limit yields an indeterminate form ).
Both conditions are satisfied, so the series converges by the Leibniz criterion.
Answer: Συγκλίνει σύμφωνα με το κριτήριο του Leibnitz.
