### Mathematical Series and Convergence
**6. Series Analysis**
(a) Prove that \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} ar^k = \frac{a}{1 - r}\) if and only if \(|r| < 1\).
(b) Prove that \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} ar^k\) diverges whenever \(|r| \geq 1\).
**7. Series Convergence**
Determine whether the following series converge absolutely, conditionally, or diverge. Provide justification for your conclusions. These examples might not be exactly what will appear on your exam, but they give you an idea of typical questions.
(a) \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{\sqrt{n}}\)
(b) \(\sum_{n=8}^{\infty} \frac{n^4 - 4n}{n^6 + 9n^2 + 3}\)
(c) \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{n}\)
(d) \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)^n\)
**8. Proving Convergence**
Prove that if \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k\) converges, then \(a_k \to 0\).
**9. Subset Lengths**
Let \(\ell(A)\) denote the length of \(A \subseteq \mathbb{R}\).
(a) Prove that \(A \subseteq B\) implies \(\ell(A) \leq \ell(B)\).
