The proof is left as an exercise. Note that although the comparison test is very useful, it requires knowledge of some convergent series \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\) ahead of time. One of the most useful series for comparison is the geometric series \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}ar^{n}\). In the case \(|r|<1\), this series converges and the sum is \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}ar^{n}=\dfrac{a}{1-r}\).
**Theorem 24** (Ratio Test).: _Suppose \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\) is a series of nonzero complex numbers and suppose the limit_
\[r=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}\right|\]
_exists, then_
* _If_ \(r<1\)_,_ \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\) _converges absolutely.__._
2. _If_ \(r>1\)_,_ \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\) _diverges._
3. _If_ \(r=1\)_, the test is inconclusive._
Proof
: The result is clear when \(r>1\). For the case when \(r=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}\right|<1\), if \(\lambda\) satisfies \(r<\lambda<1\), then there exists \(N\in\mathbb{N}\) such that
\[\frac{|a_{n+1}|}{|a_{n}|}<\lambda\quad\text{for all}\quad n\geq N.\]
Therefore,
\[|a_{n}|\leq|a_{N}|\lambda^{n-N}\quad\text{for all}\quad n\geq N.\]
Now apply the comparison test. The test gives no information when \(r=1\). For example, the series \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n}\) and \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^{2}}\) both have \(r=1\), while the first one (harmonic series) diverges, but the second one converges.
**Theorem 25** (Root Test).: _Suppose \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\) is a series of complex numbers, and set_
\[r=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sqrt[n]{|a_{n}|}.\]
_Then_
1. _If_ \(r<1\)_,_ \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\) _converges absolutely._
2. _If_ \(r>1\)_,_ \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\) _diverges._
3. _If_ \(r=1\)_, the test is inconclusive._
Proof
: If \(r<1\), we can choose \(\lambda\) with \(r<\lambda<1\) and an integer \(N\) so that
\[\sqrt[n]{|a_{n}|}<\lambda\quad\text{for all}\quad n\geq N.\]
Equivalently
\[|a_{n}|<\lambda^{n}\quad\text{for all}\quad n\geq N.\]
Since \(0<\lambda<1\), \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\lambda^{n}\) converges, and the convergence of the series follows from the comparison test. When \(r>1\), choose any number \(\lambda\) with \(1
**Remark 15**.: The root test is more powerful and has wider scope than the ratio test. However, the ratio test is easier to apply, for example, for series involving factorials. Both tests conclude divergence from the fact that \(a_{n}\) does not tend to zero as \(n\to\infty\).
### Exercises
1. Suppose \(\{x_{n}\}\) and \(\{y_{n}\}\) are sequences such that \(x_{n}\to L\) and \(y_{n}\to M\). Prove that:
1. \((x_{n}+y_{n})\to L+M\).
2. \(cx_{n}\to cL\) for any constant \(c\).
2. Consider the following sequences and using the definition of limit to show that:
1. \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n}=0\).
2. \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n}{n+1}=1\).
3. \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n}{2^{n}}=0\).
3. Let \(f:C\to\mathbb{R}\) be a map, where C is a countable set (recall that C is countable if and only if there exists a bijective mapping \(g:\mathbb{N}\to C\)). Prove that we can express \(f(C)=a_{k}\), where \(a_{k}\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(k\in\mathbb{N}\).
4. Show that if \(\{x_{n}\}\) converges to \(L\), then \(\{|x_{n}|\}\) converges to \(|L|\). What about the converse?
5. Let \(S\) be a nonempty subset of \(\mathbb{R}\) which is bounded above. Let \(s=\sup S\). Show that there exists a sequence \(\{x_{n}\}\) in \(S\) which converges to \(s\).
6. Show that \(\{x_{n}\}\) defined by
\[x_{n}=1+\frac{1}{2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n}\]
is divergent.
7. Show that \(\{x_{n}\}\) defined by

8. If \(\{x_{n}\}\) and \(\{y_{n}\}\) are Cauchy sequences in \(\mathbb{R}\), then show that \(\{x_{n}+y_{n}\}\) and \(\{x_{n}y_{n}\}\) are Cauchy sequences in \(\mathbb{R}\).
9. Show that the sequence \(\{x_{n}\}\) defined by
\[x_{n}=\int_{1}^{n}\frac{\cos(t)}{t^{2}}dt\]

\[\lim_{n\to\infty}|x_{n+1}-x_{n}|=0\?\]
11. Show that if a subsequence \(\{x_{n_{k}}\}\) of a Cauchy sequence \(\{x_{n}\}\) is convergent, then \(\{x_{n}\}\) is convergent.
