Proof for Absolute Convergence

Very first notice that |an| is either an or it is - an depending upon its sign.  The meaning of this is that we can then say,

0 < an +| an| < 2 |an|

Now here, as we are assuming that ∑|an| is convergent then ∑ 2|an| is as well convergent since we can just factor the 2 out of the series and 2 times a finite value will still be finite.  Though this permits us to use the Comparison Test to say that ∑an + |an| is as well a convergent series.

 At last, we can write,

 ∑an = ∑ an + | an| - ∑ |an|                                                     

and thus ∑an is the difference of two convergent series and thus is also convergent.

Fact about Absolute Convergence

If ∑an is absolutely convergent then it is as well convergent.
