What does the Sequence Convergence Theorem state?
If a sequence is both bounded and monotonic, then the sequence converges.
How to represent sequences?
What is the general form of a series?
How to represent an infinite series?
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.
