[INTRODUCTION]

[Background music fades in]


[On Camera]
"Hey everyone! Welcome to my channel! I am AVRIANNE PAULENE LAGUITAN your speaker for
today’s video. Today, we're diving into a fascinating topic in mathematics: the sum of infinity. Sounds
mind-boggling, right? But don't worry, I’ll break it down with some simple examples that will make it
clearer. So grab your notebooks and let’s get started!"

[TRANSITION TO PRESENTATION]

[On Screen: Title Slide - "The Sum of Infinity"]
"First off, what do we mean by the 'sum of infinity'? In math, we're often dealing with infinite series—
essentially, sums that continue indefinitely. Some of these series converge, meaning they approach a specific
number, while others diverge, meaning they go on forever without settling on a single value."

[EXAMPLE 1: Geometric Series]


"[On Screen: Geometric Series Formula]”
"Let’s look at a classic example: the geometric series. Consider the series 1+12+14+18+…1 + \frac{1}{2} +
\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + \ldots1+21+41+81+…. Each term is half of the previous one. This can be
summed up with the formula S=a1−rS = \frac{a}{1 - r}S=1−ra, where aaa is the first term and rrr is the
common ratio. Here, a=1a = 1a=1 and r=12r = \frac{1}{2}r=21. Plugging in these values, we get
S=11−12=2S = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{2}} = 2S=1−211=2. So, this infinite series sums up to 2!"

[EXAMPLE 2: Harmonic Series]


"[On Screen: Harmonic Series Formula]”
"Next, we have the harmonic series: 1+12+13+14+…1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \
ldots1+21+31+41+…. Unlike the geometric series, the harmonic series diverges. As you keep adding more
and more terms, the sum grows larger and larger without bound. This is a great example of an infinite sum
that doesn’t settle on a specific value."

[EXAMPLE 3: Alternating Series]


"[On Screen: Alternating Series Example]”
"Now let’s check out an alternating series: 1−12+13−14+…1 - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} + \
ldots1−21+31−41+…. This series actually converges to ln⁡(2)\ln(2)ln(2) or about 0.693. Alternating series
can behave differently, and their behavior can lead to fascinating results!"

[EXAMPLE 4: Basel Problem]


"[On Screen: Basel Problem Formula]”
"Here’s a classic problem in math: the Basel Problem. It looks at the sum 1+122+132+142+…1 + \frac{1}
{2^2} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{4^2} + \ldots1+221+321+421+…. Surprisingly, this infinite series
converges to π26\frac{\pi^2}{6}6π2 or about 1.645. This result amazed mathematicians and is a beautiful
intersection of calculus and number theory."

[EXAMPLE 5: Power Series]


"[On Screen: Power Series Example]”
"Lastly, let’s talk about power series. Consider the series x+x22+x33+…x + \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^3}{3}
+ \ldotsx+2x2+3x3+…. This series converges for values of xxx between -1 and 1. In fact, it converges to
−ln⁡(1−x)-\ln(1 - x)−ln(1−x). Power series can be incredibly useful in calculus and help us understand
functions better!"

[CONCLUSION]

"And there you have it! We’ve explored the sum of infinity through a variety of examples. From converging
geometric series to diverging harmonic series, infinity can be quite a remarkable concept in mathematics. If
