  2. Infinite Geometric Series What do you think about the nth partial sum of a geometric series with a common ratio greater than one? then the terms of the series do not approach zero DIVERGENT series What do you think about the nth partial sum of a geometric series with a common ratio less than one? then the terms of the series approach zero and the geometric series converges to a limit CONVERGENT series

  3. Sum of a Convergent Geometric Series Because the amount being added becomes smaller and smaller, eventually you’re adding next to nothing, so there is a limit to what the sum can be. We can express this with the equation:

  4. Try an example: To what limit does the geometric series 50 + 45 + 40.5 + … converge?

  5. Try an example: To what limit does the geometric series 50 + 45 + 40.5 + … converge?
