Selected Hints & Answers:

(You can use WolframAlpha to check answers to many of the questions.)

11.3: 12. convergent

11.3: 20. convergent
11.3: 24. convergent
11.3: 37. Remember WolframAlpha can add the numbers for you. (a) s10 ≈ 1.549768, error is at most 1/10 = 0.1 (b) 1.640677 < s < 1.649768 (see
equation (3) in textbook) (d) n ≥ 1000
11.4: 20. convergent
11.4: 28. divergent
11.4: 42. think about the examples of divergent series that you know, and also the convergent ones you know. Then start playing around.
11.5: 12. convergent
11.5: 14. convergent
11.5: 18. divergent
11.5: 28. −0.0988
11.5: 34. all p
11.6: 14. absolutely convergent (hint: decide which test (ratio or root) is most appropriate)
11.6: 16. divergent
11.6: 24. absolutely convergent
11.6: 28. absolutely convergent
11.6: 32. k ≥ 2
11.7: 8. divergent
11.7: 12. divergent (hint: do the terms → 0 as n → ∞?)
11.7: 22. covergent
11.7: 26. convergent
11.7: 28. convergent
11.7: 32. divergent
11.8: 6. radius of convergence R = 1, interval of convergence I = (−1, 1)
11.8: 14. radius of convergence R = ∞, interval of convergence I = (−∞, ∞)
11.8: 18. radius of convergence R = 4, interval of convergence I = (−5, 3)
11.8: 24. radius of convergence R = ∞, interval of convergence I = (−∞, ∞)
11.8: 30. (a) convergent (b) divergent (c) convergent (d) divergent
c0 +c1 x+c2 x2 +c3 x3
11.8: 38. if at least one of c0 , c1 , c2 , c3 is non-zero then the interval of convergence is (−1, 1) and f (x) = 1−x4
