Worksheet 10
In this math worksheet, they state the tests for convergence or divergence of a series. Then they show examples of series to which the tests could be applied.
Curated OER
Worksheet 10 - Spring 1996
In this math worksheet, students investigate how a series can apply the law of convergence. They also test the functions using convergence.
Curated OER
Worksheet 12 - Spring 1996
In this math worksheet, students consider a series and test to see if the law of convergence applies or not. Then they calculate the Taylor series about x = 0 for the trigonometric functions f(x)=sinx and g(x)=cos.
