In an Alternating Series, every other term has the opposite sign. AST (Alternating Series Test)
Let a1 - a2 + a3 - a4+... be an alternating series such that an>an+1>0, then the series converges. The error made by estimating the sum, Sn is less than or equal to an+1, i.e. E = |S - Sn| an+1.

EX 1 Does an Alternating Harmonic Series converge or diverge? EX 2 Does this series diverge or converge? What is the error estimate
made when approximating the sum using S6?
3
Absolute Convergence
If
converges, then
converges.
EX 3 Does converge or diverge?
4
Absolute Ratio Test
Let
be a series of nonzero terms and suppose
.
i) if < 1, the series converges absolutely.
ii) if > 1, the series diverges.
iii) if = 1, then the test is inconclusive.
EX 4 Show
converges absolutely.
