Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}a_{n}=5$ means that the limit of the sequence $\{a_{n}\}$ is 5. (As n gets very large, $a_{n}$ approaches the value 5) $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}=5$ (see definitions of Convergent and Divergent Series (page 595)) For the infinite series $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}$, the $n$ th partial sum is $ S_{n}=a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdot \cdot +a_{n}$. $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}=5$ means that the limit of the sequence of partial sums $\{S_{n}\}$ is 5.
