Series | The Ratio Test: Theory and 1 Example

The video tutorial introduces the ratio test, a method used in calculus to determine the convergence or divergence of series. It explains when to use the ratio test, particularly when dealing with factorials, and provides a step-by-step guide on how to compute it. An example is given to illustrate the process, showing how to simplify algebraically and evaluate limits. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of the root test, which shares similar conditions with the ratio test.

How do factorials affect the application of the ratio test?

Describe the process of computing the ratio test using a sub N + 1.

What conclusion can be drawn if the limit L is found to be 0?
