[DTube] Example Problem Solving Exercises for Geometric Series

I'm in the process of uploading all of my Youtube videos to DTube, where they can be recorded on the Steem blockchain.

In this video, I take you through 3 worked solutions of text book problems involving the sum formulas for the Geometric Series.

Problem 1:

For the infinite geometric sequence {1/2, 1/4, 1/8, . . .}, find the sum to infinity. Consequently, find what proportion each of the first three terms contributes to this sum as a percentage.

Problem 2:

A sequence of numbers is defined by t_n: {9, −3, 1, . . .}.
a) Find the sum of the first 9 terms.
b) Find the sum of all the terms between and including t₁₀ and t₁₅.
c) Find the sum to infinity, S_∞.

Problem 3:

For the geometric sequence √5 + √3, √5 - √3, . . ., find the common factor, r, and the sum of the infinite series, S_∞.
