How do you test the alternating series #Sigma (-1)^n(2^n+1)/(3^n-2)# from n is #[0,oo)# for convergence?
The series is convergent.
A sufficient condition for an alternating series to converge is established by the Leibniz test stating that if:
then the series is convergent.
In our case:
so the first condition is satisfied.
Now consider:
clearly:
and:
so that:
and it follows that:
Thus also the second condition is satisfied and the series os convergent.

To test the convergence of the alternating series (\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n\frac{2^n+1}{3^n-2}), you can use the Alternating Series Test.
- Check the sequence of terms (a_n = \frac{2^n+1}{3^n-2}).
- Verify that the terms decrease in absolute value as (n) increases.
- Confirm that the limit of the sequence (a_n) as (n) approaches infinity is zero.
If these conditions are met, the series converges.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
