Hello, danabear16!
I'm having trouble with the Infinite Geometric Series with the infinity symbol over the sigma.
I don't really know what the type of problem is called.
\(\displaystyle \L\sum^{\infty}_{k=1}\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^k\)
You already called it . . . it's an infinite geomtric series, the terms go on forever.
. . The sum may be infinite, of course, but sometimes it has a finite sum.
If you write out the summation: \(\displaystyle \:\frac{5}{3}\,+\,\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^2\,+\,\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^3\,+\,\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\,+\,\cdots\)
. . you'll see that it's a geometric series with first term \(\displaystyle a = \frac{5}{3}\) and common ratio \(\displaystyle r = \frac{5}{3}\)
An infinite geometric series converges if \(\displaystyle |r|\,<\,1\)
. . that is, \(\displaystyle r\) is between -1 and +1.
Your series has \(\displaystyle r\,=\,\frac{5}{3}\,>\,1\), so as Unco pointed out, it diverges.
