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:

    Sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts; a lively and strong imagination, together with a just observation, being absolutely necessary to excel in either; which, in my opinion, is by no means the case of music, though called a liberal art, and now in Italy placed even above the other two—a proof of the decline of that country.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    It comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, gives manhood more approbation than ever proof itself would have earned him.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
