4. The goal of this problem is to justify the following statement by using the Comparison Test
for series.
Suppose that >
An and > bn are convergent series with an, bn > 0 for all natural numbers
n=1
n=1
n. Then, >anbn is also a convergent series.
n=1
By only using the Comparison Test and the following fact (FACT 1), justify
that if an >0 for all n and >an is convergent, then > a, is also convergent.
n=1
n=1
FACT 1: if an > 0 for all n and > an is convergent, then a < an for n > M for some
n=1
natural number M.
(b)
By only using the Comparison Test and the following fact (FACT 2), justify that
if an, bn > 0 for all n and )`,
> bn are convergent, then
An,
Cn is also convergent,
n=1
where cn is the maximum of an and bn.
n=1
n=1
FACT 2: If an, bn 2 0 for all n and
An;
bn are convergent, then
An + bn is
n=1
n=1
also convergent.
n=1
(c)
By only using the Comparison Test and statements in (a) and (b), justify
that if > an and > bn are convergent and an, bn > 0 for all natural numbers n, then
n=1
n=1
> anbn is also convergent.
