Key Concepts

Ratio Test

The Ratio Test is a common method for determining the convergence of an infinite series by examining the limit of the absolute ratio of consecutive terms. If the limit is less than one, the series converges absolutely; if the limit is greater than one, the series diverges; and if the limit equals one, the test is inconclusive. This test is particularly useful for analyzing power series.

Power Series

A power series is an infinite series of the form ? a? (x - c)? where c is the center of the series and a? represents the coefficient of the nth term. Power series are used to represent functions as sums of infinitely many terms, and their convergence properties depend on the value of x in relation to the center of the series.

Radius of Convergence

The radius of convergence is a non-negative number that indicates the distance from the center c within which a power series converges absolutely. It is determined using methods such as the Ratio Test or Root Test and plays a crucial role in understanding where the power series defines a valid function.

Interval of Convergence

The interval of convergence is the set of all x-values for which the power series converges. This interval is centered at the series' center and has a length equal to twice the radius of convergence, although the behavior at the endpoints must be checked separately as they may converge or diverge independently.
