Geometric Sequence

Finding the sum

The sum of the infinite geometric series 3/4 -9/16+27/64 -81/256+ ...is 3/7.

Solution:

Geometric Series Sum Formula: S = a₁/1 - r

Given: a₁ = 3/4

          a₂ = -9/16

          a₃ = 27/64

          a₄ = -81/256

1. Find the common ratio.

      a_n = a₁r ⁿ ⁻ ¹

       a₂  = a₁r ⁿ ⁻ ¹

  -9/16 = 3/4 r ² ⁻ ¹

  -9/16 = 3/4 r

2. Divide both sides of the equation by 3/4 to find r.

   -9/16/3/4 = 3/4 r/3/4

 (-9/16)(4/3) = r

       -36/48 = r

           -3/4 = r

3. Using r = -3/4, find the sum of the infinite geometric series 3/4 -9/16 +27/64 -81/256+ ...

   S = a₁/1 – r

   S = 3/4/1 – (-3/4)

   S = 3/4/1 + ¾

   S = 3/4/4/4  + 3/4

   S = 3/4/7/4

   S = (3/4)(4/7)

   S = 12/28

   S = 3/7

4. Therefore, the sum of the infinite geometric series 3/4 -9/16+27/64 -81/256+ ...is 3/7.

Definition:

     A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the ratio between consecutive terms is constant while the sum of an infinite number of terms in a geometric sequence is called sum to infinity.
