(a) If and
are divergent, then
is divergent.
(b) If converges and
diverges, then
diverges.
(c) If and
are convergent, then
is convergent.
Solution
The first step in solving 11.4 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let and be series with positive terms. Is each of the following statements true or false? If the statement is false, give an example that disproves the statement.(a) If and are divergent, then is divergent.(b) If converges and diverges, then diverges.(c) If and are convergent, then is convergent.
From the textbook chapter The Comparison Tests you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
