Very short answer question
P
1. 1 mark Suppose you wanted to use the Limit Comparison Test on the series ∞
n=0 an where
n
an
an = 38n+5n
.
Write
down
a
sequence
{b
}
such
that
lim
exists
and
is
nonzero.
(You

+2
don’t have to carry out the Limit Comparison Test; just write the formula for the bn .)

2. 2 marks It is known that ∞
= π12 (you don’t have to show this). Find N so that
n=1
n2

SN , the N th partial sum of the series, satisfies | π12 − SN | ≤ 10−4 . Be sure to say why your
method can be applied to this particular series.
Answer:

Explain your answer.
n3 − 1
converge conditionally, converge absolutely, or diverge?
