When the common ratio of an
infinite geometric sequence is
less than 1, its sum can be
found by the formula
a
where s is the sum, a is the first
term, and r is the common
ratio, What is the sum of the
geometric sequence below?
16,8,4,2.

Respuesta :

The sum of the infinite geometric sequence 16, 8, 4, 2 is 32

How to find the sum of a geometric sequence?

The sum can be represented as follows:

s∞ = a / 1  - r

where

r = common ratio

a = first term

Therefore,

r = 8 / 16 = 1 / 2

a = 16

hence,

s = 16 / 1 - 1 / 2

s = 16 / 1 / 2

s = 16 × 2 / 1

s = 32
