What is the sum of the finite geometric series?
What do you need to find the sum?
You need the first term, the common ratio, and the number of terms in the series.
The first term is 3. The common ratio is
1024 is
The sum of the series is 6141.
When the lower limit on n is not 1, how can you find the number of terms?
The number of terms always equals
The first term is
The sum of the series is approximately 8.
See Problem 2 for the outcome.
