Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This series is a geometric series with a common ratio greater than 1 (r = 4), which means it diverges as $i$ approaches infinity. Therefore, the sum of the series is not a finite number.

Find the Sum of the Series, If Possible ∑i=1∞5(4)i\sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { \infty } 5 ( 4 ) ^ { i }∑i=1∞​5(4)i
