What this section is building

Practice convergence-test selection practice with structured problems that require method selection, justification, and error control.

Notice

A complete series argument includes hypotheses, a named theorem or comparison, its conclusion, and any requested sum or error estimate.

Decide

Identify the object and structure before computing, then use answer reveals only after recording a complete justification.

Avoid

Reading the key before choosing a test or treating a missing hypothesis as a minor presentation issue.

Practice method

Work in three passes

First, classify. Name the derivative idea or rule before writing algebra. This separates a recognition error from a calculation error.

Second, solve without the key. Record a complete attempt, including bounds, constants, domains, units, or interpretation when the prompt asks for them.

Third, reveal one answer at a time. Compare the first line where your work differs, close the answer, and redo that item from a blank start.

Convergence-Test Selection Practice

For each series, name the first test you would try and explain why before performing calculations.

Exercise

$\sum (n+1)/(n^3+2)$

Exercise

$\sum (-1)^n n/(n^2+1)$

Exercise

$\sum 5^n/n!$

Exercise

$\sum 1/[n\ln n]$

Exercise

$\sum ((2n+3)/(5n+1))^n$

Exercise

$\sum 1/[n(n+2)]$
