I have tried a subscript n= 1/2n

If you mean to say , then you have to write 1/(2n) to make the 'n' in the denominator. If you forget the parenthesis, then 1/2n means and you can see that n is no longer in the denominator.

The answer is definitely where n starts at n = 1 (and n is a positive integer)
