In this video I show that the series with terms 1/n! converges by the Ratio Test. The Ratio Test states that the limit as n approaches infinity of the absolute value of the ratio of terms a_n+1 / a_n converges if it equals to a number less than 1, diverges if greater than 1, and inconclusive if equal to 1. In our case, I show that the Ratio Test is equal to 0, which is less than 1. Hence our given series converges and the answer to the question is True.
