Infinite Sequences and Series
IntermediateThis topic covers infinite sequences and series for AP Calculus BC Unit 10. Sequences converge or diverge; series are sums of infinite terms. Convergence tests (ratio, root, comparison, integral, alternating series) determine behavior.
Taylor and Maclaurin series approximate functions as power series. Error bounds quantify approximation accuracy. Key skills: convergence tests, Taylor/Maclaurin construction, radius/interval of convergence, Lagrange error bound.
