Twelfth graders investigate convergence of an infinite series. In this Calculus lesson plan, 12th graders apply the integral test to determine convergence of an infinite series.
In this college level Calculus learning exercise, students use the ratio test to determine if a series converges or diverges. The one page learning exercise contains six problems. Solutions are not provided.
Students analyze geometric series in detail. They determine convergence and sum of geometric series, identify a series that satisfies the alternating series test and utilize a graphing handheld to approximate the sum of a series.
In this calculus learning exercise, students find the limit using the Limit Comparison Test and solve problems with series based on the p-series. They tell whether an equation will converge or diverge. There are 7 problems.
In this calculus worksheet, 11th graders solve 7 problems where they determine the convergence and divergence properties using the limit comparison test.
In this Calculus worksheet, students assess their understanding of various topics, including the derivatives of trigonometric functions, evaluating integrals, sigma notation, and convergent and divergent series. The one page interactive worksheet contains fifty-two problems. Answers are not provided.
Students investigate sequences and series numerically, graphically, and symbolically. In this sequences and series lesson, students use their Ti-89 to determine if a series is convergent. Students find the terms in a sequence and series and graph them. Students use summation notation to determine the sum of a sequence.
Students find patterns in a sequence. In this sequences and series lesson, students use their calculator to find the sequence of partial sums. They graph functions and explore convergent series. Students approximate alternating series.
In this calculus worksheet, students calculate the integral of each function and label it as being convergent or divergent. They calculate the series also. There are 3 questions.
In this college level calculus worksheet, students use the ratio test to determine if a seriesconverges or diverges. The two page worksheet contains six practice problems. Answers are not included.
