Possible and Impossible Series Consider a series 4This series either exnverges or diverges. • Likewise, the sxquence of ters {a1,a2, a3, ...} either converges or diverges. • And of course the corresponding sequence of partial sums (51,2, 53, --} either converges or divergen. For each of scenarios A through H in table 1: (a) Decide whether the statesd scenario is possible or impossible and write down your answer. For instance, in scenario A, I am asking, is it poesible lo find a series in kor which the sequence of lerms {a1, a2, as, ...} converges but the sequence of partial sums {s1,52, 53, ---} diverges and the series itself diverges? (b) Then dko the following: • If your answer is posible, provide a specific example (a specific an) thal salisfies the staled Conditions and explain how that example satisfies the conditiones. • If your answer is impossible, briefly explain why.P Table 1 Series Convergence Sequence of Partial Sums Sequence of Terms Scries Possible or Scenario {s, 5;, 5 ..
