00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,900
In this video we're going to be talking about how to use the ratio test to say whether or not a series
2
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:04,800
converges.
3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:11,400
And in this example we have a series that has effect Tauriel involved so we have factorial in the denominator
4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:18,090
of our series the ratio test is just one of our convergence tests and it all hinges on this value here
5
00:00:18,130 --> 00:00:24,120
of L and L is defined as the limit is and goes to infinity of the absolute value the apps I use important
6
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,010
of a 7 plus one divided by a Sabun.
7
00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:31,380
Well the first thing to know is that there's a sub N value in the denominator.
8
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:34,950
Right here is just the series a sub and the original series.
9
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:41,040
So we'll plug in this series here for a sub and just plug this value directly in.
10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:47,550
For A-7 a seven plus one is the value that we get when we take this original series and we replace every
11
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:50,830
value of N with end plus 1 instead.
12
00:00:50,850 --> 00:00:56,340
So whatever value we get when we do that we plug that in for a seven plus one and then we have this
13
00:00:56,340 --> 00:01:02,280
quotient of series here and we take the EPS value and then we take the limit whatever we get.
14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,850
Over here is going to be the value of L and the ratio test tells us that if is less than 1 in the series
15
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:12,330
converges if Al is greater than 1 then the series diverges.
16
00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:17,370
And if L is equal to one then the ratio test in particular is inconclusive and we have to use another
17
00:01:17,370 --> 00:01:21,210
test or we might just have to say that we can't determine convergence.
18
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:23,310
So again everything hinges on this value.
19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,030
So that's the value we need to find.
20
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:30,890
So we're going to go ahead and say Al is equal to the limit as and goes to infinity you are taking this
21
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:32,720
directly from this formula here.
22
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:36,330
And then we're going to say the absolute value of a seven plus one.
23
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:38,760
So the absolute value of a seven plus one.
24
00:01:38,790 --> 00:01:44,640
So a seven plus one is again what we're going to get when we plug and plus one in for n in the original
25
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,250
series so instead of 2 to the end we'll get to the end plus one.
26
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:54,590
And then instead of end factorial we're going to get an plus 1 factorial.
27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,100
And it's important to put these parentheses here to indicate that we're taking the factorial of and
28
00:01:59,130 --> 00:01:59,960
plus 1.
29
00:01:59,970 --> 00:02:02,580
So this value right here is a seven plus one.
30
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:07,320
And then we're going to divide that by a submarine which again is just the original series so that's
31
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,540
two to the N divided by an factorial.
32
00:02:10,540 --> 00:02:13,290
We're taking the absolute value of this quotient.
33
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:19,410
Now a lot of people like to skip this step and go straight to the second step that we're writing out
34
00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:23,800
here because remember we just have a fraction divided by a fraction.
35
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:28,880
And when that's the case where we can do is we take the fraction in the numerator we leave that as is
36
00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:34,140
we have to to the end plus 1 divided by quantity and plus one factorial.
37
00:02:34,170 --> 00:02:39,440
And then instead of dividing by this fraction we can multiply by it's reciprocal that's the same thing.
38
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:44,820
So we flip this upside down instead of two to the end divided by and vectorial we get and factorial
39
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:50,100
divided by 2 to the end and we haven't changed the value of this quotient at all.
40
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:55,080
So now we have this here and you can go straight to the step skipping this one if you want to.
41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,890
So instead of division do multiplication and then just do the reciprocal of the n.
42
00:02:59,910 --> 00:03:01,820
But either way this is where you want to get to.
43
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:06,540
And then at this point what we want to do is pair together similar terms and usually that's going to
44
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:13,620
mean similar basis so what we can say is that we have to add to the plus one the has to.
45
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,350
And we have to to the end.
46
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,400
The base is two.
47
00:03:16,410 --> 00:03:19,270
So because these have the same base we want a pair of them together.
48
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:22,010
Here we have two factorial terms so those are similar.
49
00:03:22,010 --> 00:03:28,530
We want to pair those together and we're going to rewrite this as the limit as and goes to infinity
50
00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:31,650
the value because these are multiplied together.
51
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,560
We can just swap the denominators and it doesn't change the value at all.
52
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:44,040
So we end up with two to the end plus one over two to the n multiplied by and factorial divided by quantity
53
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:46,240
and plus 1 factorial.
54
00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:52,200
So now the reason this is helpful is because when we have the same base in the numerator and denominator
55
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,860
they both raise two different exponent.
56
00:03:53,940 --> 00:03:58,520
What we can do is subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.
57
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:03,970
So this value here becomes two to the end plus one the exponent in the numerator.
58
00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:09,290
Then we just subtract the exponent from the denominator so we end up with and plus 1 minus.
59
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:13,300
And for the new exponent well and minus and those cancel that zero.
60
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:16,710
So we just have two to the first power which is just 2.
61
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:19,810
So this whole fraction here becomes two.
62
00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:24,450
And because the limit as end goes to infinity doesn't affect the value.
63
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:29,910
There's no value involved anymore it's just two we can pull that too out in front of the limit so we
64
00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:37,340
can say L is equal to two times the limit as and goes to infinity of the absolute value.
65
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:43,560
And now here we have an factorial over and plus 1 factorial.
66
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,210
Now in order to simplify this remaining quotient we have to remember is what a factorial really means.
67
00:04:49,230 --> 00:04:57,690
So for example if we have five factorial that's equal to five times four times three times two times
68
00:04:57,690 --> 00:04:58,790
one right.
69
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:06,120
So we have this fact you hear five we can call for five minus one right because five minutes one is
70
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,480
for three is the same thing as five minus two.
71
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:15,320
Two is the same thing as five minus three and one is the same thing as five miles for us.
72
00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:16,660
We have five minus four.
73
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,050
So really we're just starting with five.
74
00:05:19,170 --> 00:05:23,670
And then we subtract one we subtract two we subtract three we subtract four we multiply those things
75
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:24,560
together.
76
00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:29,680
So when we have an factorial Let's go ahead and say two times the limit.
77
00:05:29,750 --> 00:05:35,520
And it goes to infinity when we have N factorial we just start with an in the same way that we just
78
00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:37,050
started here with five.
79
00:05:37,230 --> 00:05:43,290
So we start with N and then we multiply that by and minus 1 because here we started with 5 only 5 minus
80
00:05:43,290 --> 00:05:51,000
1 so we're going to do and minus one and we're going to do and minus two and minus three and minus four
81
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:52,840
like this dot dot dot.
82
00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:54,050
And it would go on for ever.
83
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:59,400
We don't know the value of N so we just write dot dot dot because that would continue forever and minus
84
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,030
5 and my 6 and 7 on into infinity.
85
00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:05,990
So that's what and factorial represents.
86
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,190
Now we want to figure out what and plus one factorial represents.
87
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,490
Well obviously we're just going to start with the original value and plus 1 so we have and plus one
88
00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:20,620
and then we're going to subtract one just like we do here we did five minus one.
89
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:28,470
So and plus one minus one right and plus one minus one the plus one and the minus one cancel and we're
90
00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:35,840
just left with n so we multiply by n then we subtracted two right in our example here with 5 5 5 minus
91
00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:36,100
1.
92
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,450
Then we get 5 minus 2.
93
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:40,940
So we would have and plus one and then this time minus 2.
94
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,450
Well here one minus 2 is in negative ones we end up with and minus 1.
95
00:06:45,450 --> 00:06:48,000
So Id say and minus one.
96
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:55,880
And if we kept going we would get again and minus two and minus three on forever and minus for that
97
00:06:55,910 --> 00:06:56,490
that.
98
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,160
And we had the absolute value here.
99
00:06:58,170 --> 00:07:00,950
So remember in the numerator we started with factorial.
100
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,090
So here we started with and we said and and then and minus one minus two my three most Mosport here
101
00:07:06,090 --> 00:07:07,500
we started with and plus 1.
102
00:07:07,530 --> 00:07:13,110
So we start with and plus 1 and then we subtract one each time and we end up with and minus 1 and 2
103
00:07:13,650 --> 00:07:14,860
on into infinity.
104
00:07:15,030 --> 00:07:20,810
So we write those terms out and then what we see is that we can make a lot of cancellations.
105
00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:27,170
So in this particular problem we have an and an N given and minus one in and minus one.
106
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,830
These two are going to cancel these who are going to cancel these two are going to cancel.
107
00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:36,240
And what we see is that if we kept going we would always be able to continue cancelling terms we'd have
108
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:42,510
and minus 5 and both numerator and denominator and minus 6 and 7 and minus 8 and we always be able to
109
00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:43,310
cancel.
110
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,770
So the only thing we're left with is this end plus one in the denominator so we have two times the limit
111
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:55,320
as and goes to infinity and the absolute value since everything canceled in the numerator we're just
112
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,510
left with one.
113
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,400
And then in the denominator we have.
114
00:07:58,530 --> 00:08:01,420
And plus one that's the only thing that's remaining.
115
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,380
So that's how you simplify factorials when using the ratio test.
116
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:10,290
You always do it the same way you write out these factorials to figure out which terms you can cancel
117
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,490
and then that'll simplify and get rid of the factorial so you can actually evaluate the limit.
118
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,020
Now at this point when I want to do is divide every term in the numerator and denominator by the largest
119
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:27,880
degree variable in the denominator so the largest degree very common denominator is just this and variable.
120
00:08:27,930 --> 00:08:29,250
And to the first.
121
00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:34,890
So what I want to do is divide every term in both the numerator and denominator by end of the first.
122
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:42,170
In other words I want to multiply by one over and I want to multiply by 1 over n like this.
123
00:08:42,270 --> 00:08:46,770
Really we haven't changed the value because one over end divided by one over and it's just one when
124
00:08:46,770 --> 00:08:51,110
we have the same value in the numerator and denominator this fractions equal to 1.
125
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:54,410
So really we're just multiplying by 1 so it doesn't change the value.
126
00:08:54,420 --> 00:09:01,230
But this is convenient because what we're going to get here is two times the limit as and goes to infinity
127
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,370
absolute value.
128
00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:06,810
So we just multiply across numerator and denominator like this.
129
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:13,380
So we say 1 times 1 over and is 1 over an in the denominator here we have to distribute this one over
130
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:21,240
n across both terms so n times 1 over and gets the ends to cancel and we're just left with one and then
131
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,460
one turns one over and his one over end we have one over n like this.
132
00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:32,190
And now when we evaluate the limit as and goes to infinity remember that when we have a constant divided
133
00:09:32,190 --> 00:09:38,010
by infinity for example this fraction here in the numerator 1 divided by n that be 1 divided by infinity
134
00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:42,780
we'd have a constant of 1 in the numerator and infinity in the denominator.
135
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:47,790
That's going to go toward zero because the denominator becomes very very large.
136
00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:52,440
So the fraction itself becomes very very small and the limit of that is zero.
137
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,290
So this is going to go to zero.
138
00:09:54,420 --> 00:09:56,810
And this is going to go to zero when we take the limit.
139
00:09:56,820 --> 00:10:02,000
So what we're left with then is L as equal to two we're evaluating the limit so we can get rid of this
140
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,960
limit notation and we have absolute value of zero divided by 1 plus zero.
141
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,700
Well obviously since we have zero in the numerator this whole fraction is going to go to zero.
142
00:10:12,740 --> 00:10:19,690
The absolute value of zero we can still call zero sum zero times to is zero and we have l equal to zero.
143
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:21,770
Now don't be thrown off of ELAS equal to zero.
144
00:10:21,770 --> 00:10:25,330
That's not a special value of L when it comes to the ratio test.
145
00:10:25,370 --> 00:10:28,380
The only special value of L is equal to 1.
146
00:10:28,380 --> 00:10:30,640
One is the value that everything hinges on.
147
00:10:30,670 --> 00:10:36,810
So the fact that 0 is less than 1 right if else less than 1 then by the ratio test the series converges
148
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:39,030
since zero is less than 1.
149
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,860
We can say that in this particular case Al is less than 1 and therefore that this particular series
150
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:49,920
this two to the end over and factorial is a convergent series by the ratio test.
