      Hows Calc 3 compared to Calc 2?

    • @BigCatSoftware
      @BigCatSoftware 9 месяцев назад +4

      @@andrean40 my school is a little weird and has Calc split into 4 parts. Our 3 consists mostly of series and sequences. After Taylor series it moved to 3D graphs and functions. From here I’m not sure what’s next. But in 4 I know it focuses all on multi variable calculus. So I guess 3 will stop right before that. Hopefully this makes sense and is helpful.

But I definitely need more series and sequence videos! Even if they’re just working through more complicated examples so I know how to use the limit comparison test to a p series and how to know which test to use etc!

    • @BomBom-lo1pq
      @BomBom-lo1pq 3 года назад +4

      These are the steps you have to follow when trying to find the limit of a function as the variable approaches infinity.
      You divide both the numerator and denominator by the highest power of the variable found in the denominator.
      For example, if you’re trying to find the limit when x approaches zero for:
      2x^3 +5/6x
      You will divide both the numerator and denominator by x (or multiply both by 1/x)

    • @vincentmanning1338
      @vincentmanning1338 3 года назад +2

      This is okay here but in general it is probably better to use L’Hopital’s rule when dealing with limits of indeterminate form such as 0/0 or inf/inf. Simply take the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator and compute the limit as n approaches inf of the new function. Repeat as necessary

    @kabirsethi2608 2 года назад +2

    Just asking,
    As per Ramanujan Summation, 1+2+3+4+.. all the way up to infinity is -1/12. Therefore on multiplying both sides we get,
    2+4+6+....=-1/6.
    So shouldn't the answer for the first series be -1/6.
    If any mistakes please correct me as I am just learning....

    • @xinpingdonohoe3978
      @xinpingdonohoe3978 2 года назад

      Ramanujan Summation is a method of applying conversant results to divergent answers, like an integral having a Cauchy Principle Value. The actual thing diverges, but -1/12 is what arises if you do the series in other branches of mathematics.
      In regular maths though, it diverges.

      It diverges by the nth term test. As the terms approach infinity, the value goes to 5/7 which gets added an infinite number of times, this it is infinite and diverges.

      @xinpingdonohoe3978 2 года назад

      If the limit at ∞ doesn't equal 0, like here it equals 5/7, then the series is going to be around ∞×5/7, because after while an≈5/7, and there are still an infinite number of terms left.
      Only ∞×0 is not always going to diverge, which is why the limit at ∞ must be 0.
