{\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}}
is converage, For N\in
\mathbb{N}

\sum_{n=N+1}^{\infty}an
is also converage

proof that \lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}(\sum_{n=N+1}^{\infty}an)=0

Can you write Σ1an - ΣN+1an as a sum?

It might be helpful to put Σ1an = c .

Please take a look at our LaTeX tutorial -- https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/
I believe this is what you were trying to convey:
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}$ converges.

For $N \in \mathbb{N}, \sum_{n = N+1}^{\infty}a_n$ also converges.

What does it mean for a series to converge? How is this defined?

Also, is this a homework problem?

The difference between a full series and a tail is finite, so convergence is te same for both.
