whats is bigger 1+1 or 1 + half +half of a half + half of a half of a half infinitely
Let's take this question slow.
1+1= 2
1+ 0.5 + 2.5 + (half of a half of a half infinitely) (half of infinite is infinite) + infinte = INFINITE
i'm going to the second one
These can be quite deceptive MG :)
Which is bigger
1+1=2
OR
This is a Geometric Series, a=1, r=1/2 = 0.5
So they both have exactly the same value
Prove this for yourself MG1 ... add up the following.......see that the sum is approaching 2 as we add more and more terms.......
1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64 + 1/128 +............
See how the series approaches 2 as more terms are added ???
{When you take Calculus later on, this will be one of the main ideas......it's known as a "limit" }
