Am 101 Assignment 1 2023-24

This document contains 10 questions regarding determining the convergence or divergence of mathematical series. Various types of series are presented, including p-series, alternating series, series with positive and negative terms, and series with trigonometric and factorial terms. For each series, the answer provided analyzes whether the series converges absolutely, conditionally converges, or diverges. The questions cover a range of tests for series convergence, including the p-series test, alternating series test, ratio test, root test, and Leibnitz test.
