∞ n There are three possibilities for ∑ cn (x − a) with respect to convergence: n=0 1. There is a positive number R such that the series diverges for x − a > R but converges for x − a < R. The series may or may not converge at either of the endpoints x = a − R amd x = a + R. 2. The series converges for every x (R = ∞). 3. The series converges at x = a and diverges elsewhere (R = 0).

Let ∑an be a series with no negative terms.

(a) ∑an converges if there is a ∑cn with

an ≥ cn for all n > N, for some integer N.

(b) ∑an diverges if there is a divergent series ∑d n with
