Convergence and Integration of Series

The video tutorial explores expressing an infinite series as a geometric series, determining its interval of convergence, and calculating its sum. It delves into factoring, pattern recognition, and the use of calculus, including derivatives and anti-derivatives, to understand the series better. The tutorial concludes with the integration process and representing the series in sigma notation.

What is the first step in expressing an infinite series as a geometric series?
