Calc 10.8 Solutions

The document provides examples of applying various tests for convergence of infinite series, including the ratio test, p-series test, integral test, comparison test, and alternating series test. It asks the learner to determine if given series converge or diverge based on applying the appropriate convergence test and evaluating the resulting limit(s). It also asks the learner to match convergence tests to their conditions of convergence.
