I've often heard that instead of adding up to a little less than one, 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8... = 1. Is there any way to prove this using equations without using Sigma, or is it just an accepted fact?
I couldn't find out the exact value of this operation. $$1 - 1/2 + 1/4 - 1/8 + 1/16 - 1/32 \dots$$ You go 1 units right on the number line, half of it to the left, half of the previous one to the

Everyone knows about the classic $$ \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{2^i} = 1 $$ However, is there any way to find $$ \sum_{i=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{2^{2^i}} = \dfrac12 ...
I know that the sum of series $1-1/2+1/3-1/4+1/5..= log 2.$ And we can see that by rearranging the terms of the series given in question, i would land on the series as above. so this should mean th...
It seems to me the pattern is you are adding the following triplets: $\frac 1 {4k+1} +\frac 1 {4k+3}-\frac 1 {2^{k+1}} $. If this converged we could rearrange the terms. The infinite sum of $\sum\frac {-1} {2^{k+1}}$ is $-1$ which is finite so that would mean the sum $\sum (\frac 1 {4k+1}+\frac 1 {4k+3})= \sum \frac 1 {2k+1} $ is finite.
