Determine If the Geometric Series Converges or Diverges A) Converges $\frac { 1 } { 5 }$

question 122

Multiple Choice

Determine if the geometric series converges or diverges. If it converges, find its sum.
- $\frac { 1 } { 6 } + \left( \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { 2 } + \left( \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { 3 } + \left( \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { 4 } + \left( \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { 5 } + \ldots$

• A) converges, \(\frac { 1 } { 5 }\)
• B) diverges
• C) converges, \(\frac { 6 } { 5 }\)
• D) converges, \(\frac { 5 } { 6 }\)
