    In this video I go further into the wonderful world of infinite sequences and series and this time look at using comparisons with known series to test if a given series is convergent or divergent. The standard Comparison Test simply shows that if the terms of a series are less than the terms of a known convergent series, such as a p-series or geometric series, than the given series is also convergent; and vice versa if the terms are greater than the terms of a divergent series so too is the given series divergent. I go over many examples and exercises illustrating this test as well as go over a similar Limit Comparison Test. This particular test involves taking the limit as the number of terms approach infinity of the ratio of a given series to a known series; if the ratio approaches a number greater than 0 than both series are either both divergent or both convergent. In later exercises I show that if the ratio approaches 0 and the known series is convergent then so too is the given series; but if the ratio approaches infinity and the known series is divergent than so too is the given series. Many more examples and details are covered in this video so hope you enjoy!
