Determine whether the following series converges or diverges: 4/n!
\[\sum_{n=1}^{∞}\] \[4/n!\]
it converges to -4+4e
what converges and diverges means?
Converges means that there is a finite and defninite limit that the sum approached, diverges is the opposite
converge is when it gets closer to 0 and diverges is when it gets bigger
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
im confused with the n! factorial i should it remain as n or (n-1)
One must also note that divergence does not necessary mean infinite sums, but it can mean that your sum will fluctuate between different extremes
ohhh okay
Essentially these concepts (divergence and convergence) are defined as limits of a sequence made by the n-th partial sum of a series.
