first tell me if its convergent/divergent ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whats convergent and divergent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a/(1-r)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good question :) convergent means, the infinite sum will approach a finite number. let me ask u a quick question ok ? it wont take more than 5 minute. ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its kindof puzzle, but if u answer it, u wil understand infinite geometric series fully and u wil feel proud im sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok try me lol
