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 tn: {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.
