Real Analysis: Series and Convergence Tests

Determine if the series cos(nπ)n3\frac{\cos(n\pi)}{n^3} is absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or divergent.

Determine if the series (1)n+1n3\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{\sqrt[3]{n}} is absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or divergent.

Determine if the series (1)nn3n3+5\frac{(-1)^{n}n^3}{n^3 + 5} is absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or divergent.

Given a series an\sum a_n, determine whether it converges absolutely or conditionally. Specifically, consider (1)n1/n\sum (-1)^{n-1}/\sqrt{n} and evaluate its convergence using the alternating series test and discuss its absolute convergence.

Consider the series k=1(1)k+11k\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{k+1} \frac{1}{k}. Prove that this alternating harmonic series converges using the Alternating Series Test.

Consider the series k=1(1)k+1k+3k(k+1)\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{k+1} \frac{k+3}{k(k+1)}. Determine if this series converges using the Alternating Series Test.

Determine if the series n=1(1)n1n\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n} converges or diverges using the alternating series test.

Determine if the series n=1(1)n+12n1\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{2n-1} converges or diverges using the alternating series test.

Given a series, determine whether it converges or diverges using the limit comparison test.

Prove that the sum from N=1N=1 to \infty of 1N3+4\frac{1}{N^3 + 4} is convergent or divergent using the comparison test.

Consider the series with 1k!\frac{1}{k!}. The question is: 'Is this a convergent series?'

Consider a complicated looking series, but with a power involved. Use the root test to determine if this series is convergent.

Use the ratio test on 1e+2e2+3e3++nen+\frac{1}{e} + \frac{2}{e^2} + \frac{3}{e^3} + \ldots + \frac{n}{e^n} + \ldots to determine if the series converges or diverges.

What does the ratio test say about the convergence/divergence of the series n=1(1)n(n+3)4\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{(n+3)^4}?
