Limit Comparison Test - Proof

Proof

Because we know that for all exists an such that for all we have that, or what is the same

As we can choose such that is positive. So and by the direct comparison test, if converges then so does .

Similarly, so if converges, again by the direct comparison test, so does .

That is both series converge or both series diverge.

Famous quotes containing the word proof:

    When children feel good about themselves, it’s like a snowball rolling downhill. They are continually able to recognize and integrate new proof of their value as they grow and mature.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    Right and proof are two crutches for everything bent and crooked that limps along.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    a meek humble Man of modest sense,
    Who preaching peace does practice continence;
    Whose pious life’s a proof he does believe,
    Mysterious truths, which no Man can conceive.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
