1/5+3/10+9/20+27/40+81/80 does this converge or diverge?

myininaya (myininaya):

converges to whatever that sum is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no actually the answer is diverges

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its diverges

myininaya (myininaya):

but if i add that in my calculator it has a sum

myininaya (myininaya):

=211/80 its simple addition its not infinite series there is not a finite amout of terms so it does converge

myininaya (myininaya):

i mean there is a finite amount of terms

myininaya (myininaya):

so i don't understand how you can say this addition with only 5 terms is divergent is 2+2 divergent no it is simply 4 2+2 converges to 4
