Q. Evaluate m1(21m)m2\sum_{m \geq 1}^{\infty}\left(2-\frac{1}{m}\right)^{m^{2}}
  1. Analyze Behavior as mm Approaches Infinity: To solve the infinite series m1(2(1)/(m))m2\sum_{m \geq 1}^{\infty}(2-(1)/(m))^{m^{2}}, we need to analyze the behavior of the term (2(1)/(m))m2(2-(1)/(m))^{m^{2}} as mm approaches infinity.
  2. Approach of 2(1m)2-\left(\frac{1}{m}\right): As mm approaches infinity, the term (1m)\left(\frac{1}{m}\right) approaches 00. Therefore, the expression 2(1m)2-\left(\frac{1}{m}\right) approaches 22.
  3. Consider Exponent m2m^2: Now, we need to consider the exponent m2m^2. As mm approaches infinity, m2m^2 also approaches infinity. Thus, we are looking at the behavior of 22 raised to an infinitely large power.
  4. Behavior of 22 to Infinity: Since 22 is greater than 11, raising 22 to an infinitely large power will result in an infinitely large number. Therefore, each term of the series as mm approaches infinity will approach infinity.
  5. First Term Calculation: However, we must consider the first term of the series separately, where m=1m=1. The first term is (2(1)/(1))(12)=(21)1=11=1(2-(1)/(1))^{(1^{2})} = (2-1)^1 = 1^1 = 1.
  6. Series Diverges to Infinity: Since the first term is finite (equal to 11) but all subsequent terms approach infinity, the sum of the series is dominated by the infinitely large terms. Therefore, the series diverges to infinity.
