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:

    The fact that several men were able to become infatuated with that latrine is truly the proof of the decline of the men of this century.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. And if it be said, that continual success is a proof that a man wisely knows his powers,—it is only to be added, that, in that case, he knows them to be small.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    There is no better proof of a man’s being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
