Explanation If { a n } is a sequence of real numbers. Then the expression S n = a 1 + a 2 + ... + a n = ∑ k = 1 n a k is termed as sequence of n th partial sum, i.e., the sum of first n terms of a sequence and S = lim n → ∞ S n = a 1 + a 2 + ... + a n + ... = ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n is known as sum of infinite terms of sequence termed as infinite series. The given series is termed as positive term series if in the series S = a 1 + a 2 + ... + a n + ... = ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n , a n > 0 ∀ n ∈ N . An infinite series S = lim n → ∞ S n = a 1 + a 2 + ... + a n + ... = ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n is said to be convergent or divergent if its n th partial sum S n = a 1 + a 2 + ... + a n = ∑ k = 1 n a k is convergent to finite value or divergent to infinity. Necessary and sufficient condition for convergence Necessary and sufficient condition that infinite series S = ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n is said to be convergent if lim n → ∞ a n = 0 . Suppose a n ≥ 0 ∀ n ∈ N , then S = ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n is said to be convergent if and only if S n = a 1 + a 2 + ... + a n = ∑ k = 1 n a k is bounded above. Tests for Convergence Let us determine the convergence or the divergence of a series by comparing it to one whose behavior is already known. Comparison test: Suppose 0 ≤ a n ≤ b n ∀ n ≥ k for some k. Then (1) If ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n is convergent then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n is also convergent (2) If ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n is divergent then ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n is also divergent Limit Comparison Test: Suppose a n , b n ≥ 0 ∀ n ∈ N and lim n → ∞ a n b n = L (1) If L ∈ R , L > 0 , then both ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n and ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n converge or diverge together. (2) If L ∈ R , L = 0 and ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n converges, then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n also converges (3) If L → ∞ and ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n diverges, then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n also diverges Cauchy Test or Cauchy condensation Test : Suppose a n ≥ 0 ∀ n ∈ N and a n + 1 ≤ a n an+1 ≤ an ∀ n, then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n converges if and only if ∑ k = 0 ∞ 2 k a 2 k converges. p- Series Test : (1) ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 n p converges if p > 1 and diverges if p ≤ 1 (2) ∑ n = 2 ∞ 1 n ( log n ) p converges if p > 1 and diverges if p ≤ 1 Ratio Test: D’ Alembert Test: Suppose a n > 0 and lim n → ∞ a n a n + 1 = L . Then (1) If L ∈ R , L > 1 , then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n converges. (2) If L ∈ R , L < 1 , then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n diverges...

A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. No fencing is needed along the barn, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. If the fencing costs $18 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $9000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area. (Enter the dimensions as a comma separated list.) 250, 166.67 ×
