LIM-7.A—Determine whether a series converges or diverges
LIM-7.A Determine whether a series converges or diverges.
LIM-7.A.1 The nth partial sum is defined as the sum of the first n terms of a series.
LIM-7.A.2 An infinite series of numbers converges to a real number S (or has sum S), if and only if the limit of its sequence of partial sums exists and equals S.
Enduring understanding LIM-7: Applying limits may allow us to determine the finite sum of infinitely many terms.
