Either the series **converges** and **diverges**. There is only a finite sum when the series **converges**.
Recall the
Recall the our formula is $`\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}`$, and is $`n`$ approaches $`\infty`$, if $`r`$ is less than $`1`$, then $`r^n`$ approaches $`0`$. So this
series converges. Otherwise, $`r^n`$ goes to $`\infty`$, so the series diverges.
If the series diverges, then the sum can be calculated by the following formula:
If $`r = \dfrac{1}{2}`$, then $`\large \lim_{x \to \infty} (\frac{1}{2})^x = 0`$ Therefore, $`S_n = \dfrac{a(1 - 0)}{1 - r}`$. This works for any $`|r| \lt 1`$
## Binomial Expansion
A binomial is a polynomial expression with 2 terms.
A binomial expansion takes the form of $`(x + y)^n`$, where $`n`$ is an integer and $`x, y`$ can be any number we want.
A common relationship of binomial expansion is pascal's triangle. The $`nth`$ row of the triangle correspond to the coefficent of $`(x + y)^n`$
