Compare a series to a known series. So take the harmonic series {1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n}, which diverges.

For each number n [n>1], LN(n) < n, so 1/(LN(n)) > 1/n. So since each term in 1/LN(n) is greater than each term in the divergent series {1/n}, then the series 1/LN(n) diverges.

What is the infinite limit of 1 divided by ln x?

The limit should be 0.


What is the derivative of y equals xlnx?

Use the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln xUse the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln xUse the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln xUse the product rule.y = x lnxy' = x (ln x)' + x' (ln x) = x (1/x) + 1 ln x = 1 + ln x

Give examples of a convergent series.?

These are some series (not the summation of series) that converge: 1/n1/n2(a/b)n if a/b < 1 or = 1sin(1/n)cos(1/n)sin(n&pi;) &pi; = picos([2n+1]&pi;/2)e-n(n+2)/n


What is the sum of infinite numbers?

The sum of the infinite is infinite or a finite number, depending on the numbers that you are summing up.Sometimes an infinite series will converge to a finite answer. An example of one that results in an infinite answer should be fairly easy. Consider 1+2+3+4+5+6+.... Each number is bigger than the previous.But what about when each term is smaller than the previous. Consider this example, which most people should be familiar with. Take the decimal equivalent for 1/3, which is 0.3333333.... We know this is a finite number. This can be written as an infinite series 3/10 + 3/100 + 3/1000 + . . . . + 3/(10n). We would say that this infinite series converges to 1/3.Look at this one: 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + .... Each term is 1/2 the previous term. As the terms are added, the sum of the series would look like this: 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, 15/16, 31/32,... Notice that each sum is half way between the previous sum and 1, but will never get to 1. This series converges to 1.Not every series, where the terms decrease, will converge to a finite number though. I won't show how, here, but the series 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + . . . + 1/n, does not converge but goes to infinity. Each term is smaller than the previous, but they are not getting small 'fast enough' to converge to a finite number.

Does 1 over n converge?

No. &sum;(1/n) diverges. It is the special infinite series known as the "harmonic series."


What is the antiderivative of e to the power of one divided by x?

1/ln(x)*e^(1/x) if you differentiate e^(1/x), you will get ln(x)*e^(1/x). times this by 1/ln(x) and you get you original equation. Peace

How the value pi(3.14) is calculated?

Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle, to its diameter. In ancient times, it was approximated by inscribed and circumscribed polygons - the more sides the polygon had, the more accurate the approximation would be. Nowadays, infinite series are know that let you calculate pi. One well-known series of this type is:pi / 4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11... This series doesn't converge quickly; that means that you need to calculate lots of terms to get a certain degree of precision. Fortunately, other series are known that converge more quickly.

Simplify In e to the 7th power?

It depends. If you mean (ln e)7, then the answer is 1, since (ln e) = 1. If you mean ln(e7), then the answer is 7, since ln(e7) = 7 (ln e) and (ln e) = 1.


What is the anti derivative of x divided by x squared minus 1?

The antiderivative of x/(x2-1) is ln(x2-1)/2. Proof: (ln(x2-1)/2)' = (1/(x2-1))*(x2-1)'/2=1/(x2-1)*(2x/2)=x/(x2-1).
