I have never gotten to series in calculus Lala, sorry.. but I called someone better for you :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

In a geometric series, the series will converge if \[\large |r|<1\]In this case, \[|-\frac{1}{2}| <1 \implies \frac{1}{2}< 1\] therefore the \[\large \sum_{n-1}^{\infty}-4(-\frac{1}{2})^{n-1} = C\]

thank you @Luigi0210

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Because it converges, your sum : \[\large S=\frac{a}{1-r}\] where \[\large r=-\frac{1}{2}\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

that stuff looks so familiar >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TRue that
