MTH 240 Test 2

Sketches of the solutions of the second midterm appear below. Make sure you understand the solutions and can ll in the missing details. Part A. Multiple-Choice [3 marks each] (Choose one answer in each case.) 1. The sequence {an } = {nen }: converges to 0 2. The innite series 3 may be evaluated to give: 6 n n=0 2
n2 n n=1 n2 +1

3. The nth term test (Divergence test) may be used: To establish the divergence of 4. One of the comparison tests may be used to show: i) That ii) That 5. Let S =
n=1 n=2

an = an =

1 n=1 2+3n 1 n=2 n1

converges through comparison with diverges through comparison with

n=1 bn n=2 bn

1 n=1 3n . 1 n=2 n

1 , then S converges for p > 1 and diverges for p 1 p n=1 n 2n Converges to e2 n! n=0
f (n) (c) (x n!

6. The innite series

7. If a function f is dierentiable through order n + 1 in an interval I containing c, then for each x in I, there exists z between x and c such that f (x) = f (c) + f (c)(x c) + . . . + where Rn (x) =
f (n+1) (z) (x (n+1)!

c)n + Rn (x)

c)n+1 (Taylors Theorem).

Part B. Full-Answer 8.
[7 marks]

Consider the series S =

1 2 n=2 n(ln n)

(a) Find a function f (x) to be used in an integral test of S and show that f satises the requirements of the test. Let f (x) =
1 . x(ln x)2

f (x) is positive, continuous, and decreasing on (0, ), it satises f (n) = an

and so satises the requirements of the integral test. (b) Determine the convergence/divergence of S using the integral test. 1 1 t 1 dx = lim |2 = . Thus S converges because I converges (Integral I = 2 t x(ln x) ln(x) ln 2 0 1 test). (Note: S = ln 2 . Why?) 9. [6 marks] Use the Geometric series to obtain the Maclaurin series for of convergence of the series.
1 3+x2 1 3+x2

and determine the radius

1/3
2 (1( x )) 3

= (1/3)

x2 n n=0 ( 3 )

= (1/3)

n x2n n=0 (1) ( 3n ).

This converges for

3 < x2 < 3, so the radius of convergence is R = 10.


[10 marks]

x2 3

< 1 or

3.

Find the radius R and interval of convergence I (including end points!) of the power series (1)n (x 1)n S= . n2n n=1

Ratio test: limn | an+1 | = limn | n(x1) | = | (x1) | so S converges absolutely for 1 < x < 3 and an 2(n+1) 2 diverges for x < 1 and x > 3.

1 n=1 n .

x = 1 S = about p-series) x=1 S =

This is the divergent harmonic series. (use integral test if you dont know

(1)n . n=1 n

This is the convergent alternating harmonic series. (Alternating series

test.) Thus the interval of convergence is I = (1, 3] and the Radius is R = 2. 11.
[6 marks]

Consider the function f (x) = x(ex 1).

(a) Write down or derive a Maclaurin series for ex . ex =


xn n=0 n!

(b) Write down the fth degree Maclaurin polynomial P5 (x) for f (x) f (x) = x P5 (x) = x
xn n=1 n! 4 xn n=1 n!
