What is Divergence to infinity?

Definition 20.11 High School Mathematics · Chapter 20 — Sequences

The sequence (un)(u_n) tends to +∞+\infty if for every A∈RA \in \R, there exists N∈NN \in \N such that un≥Au_n \geq A for all n≥Nn \geq N. We write lim⁡n→+∞un=+∞\lim\limits_{n\to+\infty} u_n = +\infty; the definition of lim⁡un=−∞\lim u_n = -\infty is analogous. A sequence that does not converge is said to diverge.
