∑ (from k = 1 to ∞)2ᵏ / eᵏ
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the given series: \( \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{2^k}{e^k} \). This is a series where each term is \( \frac{2^k}{e^k} \).
Rewrite the general term to recognize the type of series: \( \frac{2^k}{e^k} = \left( \frac{2}{e} \right)^k \). This shows the series is geometric with common ratio \( r = \frac{2}{e} \).
Recall the convergence criterion for a geometric series: A geometric series \( \sum r^k \) converges if and only if \( |r| < 1 \).
Evaluate the absolute value of the common ratio: \( \left| \frac{2}{e} \right| \). Since \( e \approx 2.718 \), compare \( 2 \) and \( e \) to determine if \( |r| < 1 \).
Based on the comparison, conclude whether the series converges or diverges by applying the geometric series test.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Infinite Series
An infinite series is the sum of infinitely many terms, often expressed as ∑ a_k from k=1 to ∞. Understanding whether such a series converges (approaches a finite limit) or diverges (grows without bound or oscillates) is fundamental in calculus.

Convergence of an Infinite Series
Geometric Series and Ratio Test
A geometric series has terms of the form ar^k. The Ratio Test compares the limit of |a_(k+1)/a_k| to 1; if less than 1, the series converges absolutely. This test is especially useful for series with exponential terms like 2^k/e^k.

Exponential Functions and Their Growth Rates
Exponential functions like 2^k and e^k grow at different rates. Since e ≈ 2.718, e^k grows faster than 2^k, which affects the behavior of the terms and helps determine convergence by comparing numerator and denominator growth.
