Determine whether the following series converges or diverges: 4/n!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{n=1}^{∞}\] \[4/n!\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it converges to -4+4e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what converges and diverges means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Converges means that there is a finite and defninite limit that the sum approached, diverges is the opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

converge is when it gets closer to 0 and diverges is when it gets bigger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

converges = the sum stops growing eventually, getting asymptotically closer and closer to a final point. diverges = as you keep adding more terms the sum just keeps getting bigger and bigger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused with the n! factorial i should it remain as n or (n-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One must also note that divergence does not necessary mean infinite sums, but it can mean that your sum will fluctuate between different extremes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Essentially these concepts (divergence and convergence) are defined as limits of a sequence made by the n-th partial sum of a series.
