FAQs on Cauchy's Condensation Test (With Solved Exercise) - Topic-wise Tests & Solved Examples for Mathematics

1. What is Cauchy's Condensation Test?
Ans. Cauchy's Condensation Test is a mathematical test used to determine the convergence or divergence of a series. It involves comparing the terms of the series with a condensed version of the series, where the terms are multiplied by a power of 2. If the condensed series converges, then the original series also converges, and vice versa.
2. How is Cauchy's Condensation Test applied to determine the convergence or divergence of a series?
Ans. To apply Cauchy's Condensation Test, we multiply the terms of the series by increasing powers of 2. We then compare the condensed series with the original series. If the condensed series converges, then the original series also converges. If the condensed series diverges, then the original series also diverges.
3. Can Cauchy's Condensation Test be used for all types of series?
Ans. No, Cauchy's Condensation Test is specifically designed for series with non-negative terms. It cannot be applied to series with negative terms or alternating series. For such series, other convergence tests such as the Alternating Series Test or the Ratio Test should be used.
4. Are there any limitations or exceptions to Cauchy's Condensation Test?
Ans. Cauchy's Condensation Test may not be conclusive for series with terms that do not decrease monotonically. If the terms of the series do not decrease or increase in a consistent manner, the test may not accurately determine the convergence or divergence of the series.
5. Can Cauchy's Condensation Test be used to determine the sum of a convergent series?
Ans. No, Cauchy's Condensation Test only determines the convergence or divergence of a series, but it does not provide information about the sum of a convergent series. To find the sum of a convergent series, other methods such as the Geometric Series Sum formula or the telescoping series method should be used.
