  • This calculus 2 video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the telescoping series. It explains how to determine the divergence or convergence of the telescoping series. It also explains how to use the telescoping series to find the sum of the infinite series by taking the limit as n goes to infinity of the partial sum formula. This tutorial contains examples and practice problems with factoring and partial fraction decomposition with the telescoping series.

    • @cpotisch
      @cpotisch 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He isn’t being remotely rigorous so there’s no hard and fast rule as to where you should start when you’re looking for a pattern like this. If you want to save time and have a result you can trust, just keep it in summation notation, break up the sum, and manipulate the index so that it cancels. Far less ambiguous that way.

      He picked a term far enough from the end of the series [a(sub)n] just to show us what is going on towards the last few terms as the series approaches a(sub)n. You can pick any a(sub)n-k (where k is any natural number) and continue the calculations as so a(sub)n-(k-1) until you reach a(sub)n-1 then ultimately a(sub)n which should be the last term.

    My logic on the last problem is that once it starts repeating I counted at how many terms it repeated. This number was 3 [ ]'s. So then I always do 1- that many terms, and this is how I determine the exact amount of an-x terms that I would need. I also observed that it will always involve the first numbers in the bracket for the first listing and the last numbers in the brackets for the an-x listing. I know my explanation sounds confusing but hopefully, someone finds it helpful.

      because we want to see if terms near the end will cancel out, that's why you do n-2 and n-1 to see if they have terms that cancel out too. Hence why its called a telescoping series cause it starts to collapse in on itself but you cannot automatically assume it cancels for every term. So he's showing that some terms are left uncancelled at the end

    Its seeming like the end terms are always 0 due to the limit of the function being 0. Is this true? Why do we have to look at the end behavior and not just the beginning terms?

    Thanks for letting me not going to math lab tomorrow. Or math lectures. Or literally anything math related besides the midterms and final
