In mathematics, a telescoping series is a series whose general term t_{n} can be written as {\displaystyle t_{n}=a_{n}-a_{n+1}}, i.e. the difference of two consecutive terms of a sequence. As a consequence the partial sums only consists of two terms of after cancellation.
What defines a telescoping series?
Telescoping series is a series where all terms cancel out except for the first and last one. This makes such series easy to analyze. In this video, we use partial fraction decomposition to find sum of telescoping series.
How do you know if a series is telescoping?
- To see that this is a telescoping series, you have to use the partial fractions technique to rewrite.
- All these terms now collapse, or telescope. ...
- and thus the sum converges to 1 – 0, or 1. ...
- Here's the telescoping series rule: A telescoping series of the above form converges if.
