(you can check out this review article for more details about alternating series: <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/ap\/ap-calculus-bc-review-alternating-series\/\">ap calculus bc review: alternating series<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<h3>example 1 &#8212; absolutely convergent<\/h3>\n<p>first, let&#8217;s consider the following series.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/07\/alternating_geometric.gif\" alt=\"alternating geometric series\" width=\"220\" height=\"95\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10946\" \/><\/p>\n<p>this series is both <em>alternating<\/em> (the signs switch back and forth) and <em>geometric<\/em> (there is a common ratio).  in fact, because the common ratio, <em>r<\/em> = -1\/2, has absolute value less than 1, we know that this series converges.<\/p>\n<p>but is the convergence absolute or conditional?<\/p>\n<p>consider the related series of absolute values of each term:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/07\/absolute_series.gif\" alt=\"series of absolute values\" width=\"219\" height=\"154\" class=\"aligncenter

positive: <em>r<\/em> = 1\/2.  still, |<em>r<\/em>| &lt; 1, so the series of absolute values of terms converges as well.<\/p>\n<p>therefore, we have shown that the original series is <strong>absolutely convergent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>caution:<\/strong> the two series (original vs. absolute values) are not usually going to converge to the same value.  indeed, using the formula for the sum of a geometric series, we can find out the sums explicitly:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/07\/comparing_sums.gif\" alt=\"sum of

alt=\"alternating harmonic series\" width=\"245\" height=\"95\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10938\" \/><\/p>\n<p>this series does converge.  how can we tell?  use the alternating series

series is convergent.<\/p>\n<p>but how convergent is it really?<\/p>\n<p>the series of absolute values is famous.  it&#8217;s called the <strong>harmonic series<\/strong>, and we know that it

width=\"311\" height=\"77\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10880\" \/><\/p>\n<p>this series has no chance of converging at all because the limit of the general term is not zero.  in fact, the limit of (-1)<em><sup>n<\/sup><\/em> as <em>n<\/em> &rarr; &infin; doesn&#8217;t exist at all!<\/p>\n<p>therefore, this series is <strong>divergent<\/strong>.  there is no need to check the sum of absolute values at all.<\/p>\n<h2>the <em>p<\/em>-series test and conditional convergence<\/h2>\n<p>there is a very important class of series called the <em>p<\/em>-series.<\/p>\n<p>by definition, a <strong><em>p<\/em>-series<\/strong> is a series of the form:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/07\/p-series.gif\" alt=\"p-series\" width=\"48\"

28w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 48px) 100vw, 48px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>there is an extremely simple test for convergence.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>if <em>p<\/em> &gt; 1, then the series converges.<\/li>\n<li>if <em>p<\/em> &le; 1, then the series diverges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>for example, the harmonic series, &sigma;1\/<em>n<\/em> is a <em>p<\/em>-series with <em>p<\/em> = 1.  according to the chart above, this series must diverge.  <\/p>\n<p>on the other hand, the series of reciprocals of squares, &sigma;1\/<em>n<\/em><sup>2<\/sup> converges because it&#8217;s a <em>p<\/em>-series with <em>p<\/em> = 2, and 2 is greater than 1.<\/p>\n<h3>alternating <em>p<\/em>-series<\/h3>\n<p>but what about the alternating versions of the <em>p<\/em>-series?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/07\/alternating_p-series.gif\" alt=\"alternating p-series\" width=\"198\" height=\"96\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10951\" \/><\/p>\n<p>this time, the answer depends on the alternating series test.  as long as <em>p<\/em> &gt; 0, then there will be a positive power of <em>n<\/em> in the denominator.  so we would have 1\/<em>n<sup>p<\/sup><\/em> &rarr; 0 as <em>n<\/em> &rarr; &infin;, which in turn proves that the alternating series converges.<\/p>\n<p>however, the convergence is only conditional if <em>p<\/em> &le; 1 because of the <em>p<\/em>-series test.  absolute convergence is guaranteed when <em>p<\/em> &gt; 1, because then the series of absolute values of terms would converge by the <em>p<\/em>-series test.<\/p>\n<p>to summarize, the convergence properties  of the alternating <em>p<\/em>-series are as follows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>if <em>p<\/em> &gt; 1, then the series converges absolutely.<\/li>\n<li>if 0 &lt; <em>p<\/em> &le; 1, then the series converges conditionally.<\/li>\n<li>if <em>p<\/em> &le; 0, then the series diverges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>more about absolute convergence<\/h2>\n<p>there are two powerful convergence tests that can determine whether a series is absolutely convergent: the <strong>ratio test<\/strong> and <strong>root test<\/strong>.  however, neither one can tell you about conditional convergence.<\/p>\n<p>in fact, if the series is only conditionally convergent, then both the ratio and root test will turn out to be <em>inconclusive<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>for example, let&#8217;s try the ratio test on the alternating harmonic series.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/files\/2017\/07\/ratio_test_alternating_harmonic.gif\" alt=\"the ratio test for the alternating harmonic series turns out to be inconclusive\" width=\"195\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10949\" \/><\/p>\n<p>because the limit is 1, the ratio test cannot determine whether the series converges or diverges.<\/p>\n<p>you can find out
