Determine Whether the Geometric Series Converges or Diverges $$- \frac { 1 } { 5 } + \frac { 1 } { 25 } - \frac { 1 } { 125 } + \frac { 1 } { 625 } - \cdots$$

question 2

Short Answer

Determine whether the geometric series converges or diverges. If it converges, find its sum.
$$- \frac { 1 } { 5 } + \frac { 1 } { 25 } - \frac { 1 } { 125 } + \frac { 1 } { 625 } - \cdots$$
