1 |
Problem |
Find the sum of the geometric series 2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + … where there are 6 terms in the series. |
|
2 |
Step |
The given geometric series is 2,6,18,54… |
|
3 |
Step |
We know that geometric progression is a series of numbers in which each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a fixed number, known as the common ratio. |
|
4 |
Formula: |
common ratio of the given geometric series is given by |
\$ r = (r_2)/(r_1) = 6/2 = 3\$ |
5 |
Step |
From the given data |
\$a = 2 ,n =6\$ |
6 |
Formula: |
Sum of the first n terms \$S_n = (a(1-r^n))/(1-r)\$ |
|
7 |
Step |
Substitute the values in the formula |
\$S_6 = (2(1-3^6))/(1-3)\$ |
8 |
Step |
Simplification |
\$S_6 = (2(1-729))/-2\$ |
9 |
Step |
After simplification |
\$S_6 = 728\$ |
10 |
Step |
Sum of the 6 terms of geometric series is 728 |
|
