    Geometric Series

    1. The document defines geometric series as the sum of terms in a geometric sequence, where each term is the previous term multiplied by a common ratio. 2. Geometric series can be either convergent or divergent depending on whether the absolute value of the common ratio is less than or greater than 1. 3. When the absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1, the geometric series converges and the sum can be determined using the formula.

    Geometric Series
    Session Objectives:
    1. Define infinite Geometric series
    2. Differentiate Convergent series from
    Divergent series
    3. Determine the sum of infinite geometric
    series
    Geometric Sequence
    – a sequence whose consecutive
    review

    terms have a common ratio.


    If the first term of a geometric sequence is a1, the
    nth term is an , and the common ratio is r, then

    an = a1rn–1
    nth term 1st term Common ratio
    an = a1 rn–1

    infinite geometric series
    Convergent Series
    A geometric series converges if the r-value
    (i.e. the number getting raised to a power) is
    between -1 and 1.

    When |r| < 1, the series converges


    infinite geometric series
    Divergent Series
    When |r| ≥ 1, the series diverges. This means it
    only makes sense to find sums for
    the convergent series since divergent ones
    have sums that are infinitely large.

    The sum can’t be determined
