(what do you notice about the sum of the terms?).

Here's an especially interesting historical limit:
Examples:
And some theorems related to this notion:
(especially useful for alternating sequences)
(note that the converse is false)
Let's use Theorem 6 to show that the sequence we initially considered is convergent:
where r is called the common ratio.
