Precalculus convergence of sequences worksheet
In Precalculus convergence is the limit of a sequence as n grows, written with limit notation. Geometric pieces are the common case: r to the n heads to 0 when the ratio is between -1 and 1, and grows without bound when it is bigger than 1.
Also taught in Calculus, at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
- The ratio 0.8 is between -1 and 1, so 0.8 to the n heads to 0.
- So 5(0.8) to the n heads to 0 as well.
- What is left is 4.
The answer is Converges to .
Where students go wrong
Deciding a sequence diverges because its terms keep changing. The terms of this one never equal 4, but they get as close as you like, and that is what converging means.
Also called limit of a sequence or convergent and divergent sequences.
