  • It refers to a sum where all the terms add up to a constant value
  • It indicates a sum where the terms increase exponentially

    • In the equation (𝑘 + 1) ⋅ 1 / 𝑘⋅(𝑘 + 1), what common misunderstanding might arise?

  • The misunderstanding might be that the entire expression simplifies to 1 (correct)
  • The misunderstanding might be that the expression is equivalent to (k + 1) / k
  • The misunderstanding might be that the expression is undefined for certain values of k
  • The misunderstanding might be that the expression is always positive

    • What is the value of 𝑎𝑛+1 if 𝑎1 = 1 and the telescoping sum is ∑𝑛𝑘=1(𝑎𝑘+1 − 𝑎𝑘 )?

  • 1
  • 𝑛+1 (correct)
  • 𝑎𝑛+1
  • 𝑛

    • What does the equation 𝑛 ∑(𝑎𝑘+1 − 𝑎𝑘 ) = (𝑎2 − 𝑎1 ) + (𝑎3 − 𝑎2 ) + (𝑎4 − 𝑎3 ) + ⋯ + (𝑎𝑛 − 𝑎𝑛−1 ) + (𝑎𝑛+1 − 𝑎𝑛 ) represent?
