Question

Find the sum of the first 7 terms of the following series, to the nearest integer. 150,60,24...

Answer 1

Answer:

  250

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the terms of a geometric series is given by the formula ...

  Sn = a1×(1 -r^n)/(1 -r)

sum of n terms for first term a1 and common ratio r.

__

series sum

The given series has first term a1 = 150, and common ratio r = 60/150 = 2/5. Putting these values into the formula gives a sum of 7 terms that is ...

  S7 = 150×(1 -(2/5)^7)/(1 -2/5) = 150((77997/78125)/(3/5))

  S7 = 150×(25999/15625) = 249.5904

Rounded to the nearest integer, the sum of the first 7 terms is 250.

Answer 2

A geometric series is the collection of an unlimited number of terms with a fixed ratio between them. The sum of the first seven terms of the series is 249.

What is geometrical series?

A geometric series is the collection of an unlimited number of terms with a fixed ratio between them.

The given series is an geometric series, the details of the series are:

a₁ = 150

r = 60/150 = 0.4

n = 7

The sum of the geometric series is,

S = 150(1-0.4⁶)/(1-0.4)

S = 248.976 ≈ 249

Hence, the sum of the first seven terms of the series is 249.
