Geometric Series Geometric Series P ∞ k Geometric Series: k=0 x ∞ X k x = k=0 1 , 1−x diverges, if |x| < 1, if |x| ≥ 1. Proof. • We have a “closed” formula for the nth partial sum: 1 − xn+1 sn = 1 + x + x2 + · · · + xn = , if x 6= 1 1−x • If |x| < 1, then xn+1 → 0 as n → ∞, thus sn → 1 1−x . • If |x| > 1, then xn+1 is unbounded, thus sn diverges. • If x = 1, then sn = n + 1 → ∞ as n → ∞ • If x = −1, then sn alternates between 0 and 1, thus diverges. 3 Examples ∞ ∞ X X 1 1 1 1 1 1 = + + + · · · = −1= −1=1 k k 2 2 4 8 2 1 − 12 k=1 k=0 k ∞ ∞ X X 1 2 (−1)k 1 1 1 1 = = = 1 − + − + · · · = − 2k 2 4 8 2 3 1 − − 12 k=0 k=0 ∞ X ∞ X 1 1 1 1 = 0.1111111 · · · = −1= 1 −1= 9 10k 10k 1 − 10 k=1 k=0 ∞ ∞ X X 9 1 1 = 0.9999999 · · · = 9 =9× =1 k k 10 10 9 k=1 k=1 ∞ X ak ⇒ ak ∈ {0, · · · , 9}, = 0.a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 · · · = infinite decimal 10k k=1 Examples Suppose that a ball dropped from a height h hits the floor and rebounds to a height σh with σ < 1, and so on.
