  1. Assume f→∞,g→∞,f/g→0. Must (f/g)/(f'/g') converge to nonzero? If so, then L'Hopital can be used to find series convergence. #calculus

      Turns out, nope. Counterexample: math.stackexchange.com/a/77057/86887

        @StevenXClontz Another great example from christophernight.net: f=x,g=e^x. In this case both series converge, though.

          Suppose f→∞,g→∞,f/g→0. Can (f/g)/(f'/g')→0? If not, then it's possible Σ(f/g) diverges whenever Σ(f'/g') does.
