The comparison theorem for improper integrals allows you to draw a conclusion about the convergence or divergence of an improper integral, without actually evaluating the integral itself. The trick is finding a comparison series that is either less than the original series and diverging, or greater than the original series and converging.
Read MoreThe limit comparison test for convergence lets us determine the convergence or divergence of the given series by comparing it to a similar, but simpler comparison series. We’re usually trying to find a comparison series that’s a geometric or p-series, since it’s very easy to determine the convergence of a geometric or p-series.
