Question

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. if it is convergent, find its sum. (if the quantity diverges, enter diverges.) 1 9 1 18 1 27 1 36 1 45

Answer 1

The geometric series is convergent and the value is 16.

How to illustrate the information?

Recall that the sum of an infinite geometric series, S, given first term, t_1, and common ratio, r, is given by:

S = t_1/(1 - r)

Note that:

3 = (4)(3/4)

9/4 = (3)(3/4)

27/16 = (9/4)(3/4)

So this a geometric series with t_1 = 4 and r = 3/4. Therefore:

4 + 3 + 9/4 + 27/16 + ... = 4/(1 - 3/4) = 4/(1/4) = 16

The correct option is 16.
