1 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 1520 11.2 #2 Infinite Series Convergence Definition https://youtu.be/ndiE_PnfgMQ In the previous example, 2 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we talked about two different sequences that occur inside an infinite series. 3 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There's the sequence of individual terms. 4 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Those are the pieces that are being added together. 5 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And then there's also the sequence of partial sums, 6 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 where S-n means the sum of the first n terms. 7 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 S-4 would be the sum of the first four terms and so on. 8 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The idea is, if we look at the sequence of partial sums or the running total, 9 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we can say, if the limit of that sequence (as n goes to infinity) 10 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is equal to some number, which we call S, then the series 11 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 sum as n goes from one to infinity of ‘a’-n, we say the series converges. 12 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We actually say that the value of that sum is this value right here. 13 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We say that the series converges to S. 14 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If the limit does not exist— 15 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So if limit as n goes to infinity of S-n does not exist, 16 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we say the series converges-- [corrects self] Sorry, diverges.
