Which series in Exercises 53–76 converge, and which diverge? Give reasons for your answers. If a series converges, find its sum.
∑ (from n = 0 to ∞) e^(−2n)

In Exercises 125–134, determine whether the sequence is monotonic, whether it is bounded, and whether it converges.

aₙ = (4ⁿ⁺¹ + 3ⁿ) / 4ⁿ

In Exercises 15–22, determine if the geometric series converges or diverges. If a series converges, find its sum.

1 − (2/e) + (2/e)² − (2/e)³ + (2/e)⁴ − …

Telescoping Series

In Exercises 39–44, find a formula for the nth partial sum of the series and use it to determine if the series converges or diverges. If a series converges, find its sum.

∑ (from n = 1 to ∞) [ (1/n) − (1/(n + 1)) ]

Which series in Exercises 53–76 converge, and which diverge? Give reasons for your answers. If a series converges, find its sum.

∑ (from n = 1 to ∞) (1 − 1/n)ⁿ

Applying the Integral Test
