The expression to find the sum of terms of the series is; Sₙ = 3(1 - ¹/₂ⁿ)

<h3>How to solve Geometric series?</h3>

We are given the series;

3/2 + 3/4 + 3/8 + 3/16 +.....

Formula for the nth term of a geometric series is;

aₙ = ar^(n - 1)

where;

a is first term

r is common ratio

From our given series;

a = ³/₂

r = (³/₄)/(³/₂) = ¹/₂

We know that Sum of GP when n < 1 is;

Sₙ = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)

Thus;

Sₙ = ³/₂(1 - ¹/₂ⁿ)/(1 - ¹/₂)

Sₙ = 3(1 - ¹/₂ⁿ)

Thus, the expression to find the sum of terms of the series is; Sₙ = 3(1 - ¹/₂ⁿ)
