Answer 2

i know it is converges, but im not sure on the number? would it be 72 or 0?

Answer 3

how do you know it converges?

Answer 4

oh wait would it be diverge because it is going to an undefined number?

Answer 5

what type of sequence is this?

Answer 6

pretty sure it is converge because it is like 2

Answer 7

what do you mean by " it is like 2" ?

Answer 8

a certain value

Answer 9

defined value

Answer 10

it is a diverge (: thanks

Answer 11

what are your answer choices again?

Answer 12

Diverges

Converges; 11100

Converges; 72

Converges; 0

Answer 13

what's going on with the terms

are they getting bigger? or smaller?

Answer 14

diverges right? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 15

smaller, then bigger, than smaller

Answer 16

ignore the positive/negative signs

Answer 17

focus on just the numbers themselves

Answer 18

are they getting bigger? or smaller?

Answer 19

smaller

Answer 20

so eventually, the terms will get so very very small, that they essentially become zero

they won't be zero, but it'll seem like it's close enough

Answer 21

so as the terms approach infinity, the sequence approaches 0

Answer 22

wait so it's converge?

Answer 23

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 24

yes, it converges to 0
