1 In each of the following indicate whether the given series converges or diverges, and also indicate how
could you determine your answer by choosing exactly one of the tests and filling in the corresponding
blank if any. (You just choose a test to get any points.)

Express your opinion of your friend’s solution by ing the corresponding .

The solution is correct.

The solution is incorrect, but the answer is correct.
Both the solution and the answer are incorrect.

If you ed the first , then you are done with question 4 . If you ed the second or the third
, then you need to write the correct solution below.

5 Consider the question:

Your friend from Section 22 shows you their solution:

Z ∞ Z N

ex dx = lim eN − e = ∞,



e dx = lim

thus ex dx is divergent and hence en is divergent, too.
