Consider the infinite series  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sum_{n=2}^\infty 2\bigg(\frac{1}{2^n}-\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\bigg).}

(a) Find an expression for the  $n$th partial sum  $s_{n}$  of the series.

(b) Compute  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} s_n.}
