Question #347915

If (an) is convergent then i=1an\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} a_n is also convergent. True or false with the full explanation.


Expert's answer

The sequence an=1na_n=\dfrac{1}{n} converges to 0.0.

But the harmonic series


i=11n\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{\infin}\dfrac{1}{n}

is divergent.

This is the counterexample of the statement.

Therefore the statement is False.
