What does the Sequence Convergence Theorem state?

If a sequence is both bounded and monotonic, then the sequence converges.

How to represent sequences?

an1∞{a_n}^\infty_1an​1∞​

What is the general form of a series?

sn=∑i=1nais_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_isn​=i=1∑n​ai​

How to represent an infinite series?

s∞=lim⁡n→∞∑i=1nais_\infty = \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_is∞​=n→∞lim​i=1∑n​ai​

Explain the concept of convergence for a sequence.

A sequence converges if its limit as n approaches infinity exists and is a finite number. It approaches a specific value.

Explain the concept of divergence for a sequence.

A sequence diverges if its limit as n approaches infinity does not exist (oscillates) or is infinite. It does not approach a specific value.

Explain the difference between a sequence and a series.

A sequence is a list of numbers, while a series is the sum of the numbers in a sequence.

What does it mean for a series to converge?

The sum of the infinite terms approaches a finite value.

What does it mean for a series to diverge?

The sum of the infinite terms does not approach a finite value; it either goes to infinity or oscillates.
