Since geometric series with quotient q is defined also for the divergent case (except for q=1) we might discard the condition $ \varrho(A) \lt 1 $ and replace it with something like : A cannot have at the same time a value x and its reciprocal as eigenvalues
Sum of Infinite Geometric Series | Formula, Sequence & Examples
Nov 21, 2023 · A geometric series is an infinite sum where the ratios of successive terms are equal to the same constant, called a ratio. If the ratio is between negative one and one, the series is convergent or ...

I've been trying to find the sum of the following infinite series: $$ \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!2^n} $$ I've rewritten it as $$\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \frac{y^n}{n!}, y=\frac{x}{2}$$ which I know from looking at a table has the solution $$ S_\infty = e^y - 1$$ Edit: I need to be able to show this without already knowing the answer
Infinite sum for a geometric series. - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Dec 16, 2014 · I am asked to find the sum to the following infinite geometric series: $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(2)(3^{n+1})}{5^n}$ I then factor out the 2 and one 3 from the $3^{n+1}$ and get: $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}6 (\frac{3}{5})^n$ this results in a = 6 and r = $\frac{3}{5}$ and therefore I found the sum to be: $\frac {6}{1 - \frac{3}{5}} = 15$
How do I find the sum of the infinite geometric series?
Remark: Note that for the series $1-3+9-27+\cdots$ the procedure yields the nonsensical (?) sum $\frac{3}{4}$. But the procedure yields the correct answer whenever the original series converges. But the procedure yields the correct answer whenever the original series converges.
How to find sum of infinite geometric series without n=1?
I understand how to find the sum of an infinite geometric series with an n=1 $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(r)^{n-1} = \frac{a}{1-r}$ However, for sums with N not beginning at 1 (for example, 5 or something else) I was wondering if there was an elegant way to find this sum. I have attempted to subtract the first few terms to no avail.
Convergence of geometric series with |r|>1
Jun 28, 2018 · The proof is incomplete. To be complete it must prove. 1) the series does not converge if $|r| \ge 1$. 2) the series converges if $|r| < 1$.
