This is the problem:
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-\frac{1}{2})^n$$
How can we decide the series is a conditionally or an absolutely convergent?

Does $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left|\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\right|$ converge? If yes, then the series is absolutely convergent. If not, but the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^n$ still converges, then it is conditionally convergent. If neither converge then the series is divergent.
