You're already familiar with finite geometric series, but you don't want the summation to stop!! What happens if you keep adding? The terms are getting small fast! Can it be that the sum of an infinite number of rapidly shrinking terms can be finite! Yes, often times it can! Mind-blowing! Stupendous!

Sal looks at three different infinite geometric series and determines if each of them converges or diverges.

### Is this infinite geometric series convergent or divergent?

PRACTICE PROBLEMS
Given an infinite geometric series, can you determine if it converges or diverges?
