The goal of this section is to understand the meaning of such an infinite sum and to develop methods to calculate it. Since there are infinitely many terms to add in an infinite series, we cannot just keep adding to see what comes out. Instead, we look at the result of summing the first n terms of the sequences,
The second series (the sum of 1's) obviously diverges to infinity. The oscillating example (with 1's and -1's) also fails to converge. All those and more are special cases of one infinite series which is absolutely the most important of all: The geometric series is 1 + x + x2 + x3 + 1 = - 1 -x'

The Infinite Accumulation of a Constant is the series ∑ ∞ 1 , which diverges to infinity by the Definition of Convergence. n = 1 Various First-Logarithmic Series, ∑ ∞ n =2 1 /( n ⋅ (ln ( n )) p ) for various fixed real numbers p, converge for p > 1 and diverge otherwise, as is shown by the Integral Test.

Objectives In this lesson we will learn: the meaning of the sum of an infinite series, a formula for the sum of a geometric series, and to evaluate the sum of a telescoping series.
An infinite geometric series is any geometric sequence that has an infinite number of terms. If the common ratio is greater than 1, ( r 1 ) or less than -1 ( r 1 ), each term in the series becomes larger in either direction and the sum of the series gets closer to infinity, making it impossible to find a sum.
What I Need to Know sequences to Grade – 10 students. This module will discuss the formula in finding the sum of inite and infinite geometric series. It also includes interesting activities which will help learn After going through this module, the learner should be able to: find the sum of terms of a finite geometric sequence, and ite ...
4. If it exists, calculate the value of each infinite geometric series.
1 − r i=1 This case only works if r 6= 1; however, it is trivial to find the nth partial sum in this case since all entries of the sequence are a, meaning that the nth partial sum is equal to an. For one example, consider the example sequence from the introduction. The third partial sum of the series is equal to S3 = 4 + 12 + 36 = 52.
1.1. The Geometric Series infinite finite series is used to infinite number of terms.
Once student feedback is discussed, explain that a sequence is an ordered list of numbers and that the sum of such sequences is called a ‘series’ Define what is meant by both a Geometric Sequence and Geometric Series (see keywords)

1.5 Infinite Geometric Series Convergent Series: a series with an infinite number of terms, in which the sequence of partial sums approaches a fixed value.
If we are asked to find the sum of an INFINITE number of terms, it is possible if the series is geometric with a common ratio described by these (they all say the same thing): r is on the interval (-1, I).
