APFIVE P-Series Convergence Condition
For what values of $$p$$ does the p-series $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^p}$$ converge?
| $$p$$ Value | Behavior of the Series |
|---|---|
| 0.5 | Diverges |
| 1 | Diverges (Harmonic) |
| 2 | Converges |
A
Converges for $$p > 1$$
B
Converges for $$p \ge 1$$
C
Converges for $$p < 1$$
D
Always converges regardless of the value of $$p$$, since the terms decrease.
