I'll do problem 13 to get you started.
The expression is the same as
Then we can do a bit of algebra like so to change that n into n-1
This is so we can get the expression in a(r)^(n-1) form
- a = 8/7 is the first term of the geometric sequence
- r = 2/7 is the common ratio
Note that -1 < 2/7 < 1, which satisfies the condition that -1 < r < 1. This means the infinite sum converges to some single finite value (rather than diverge to positive or negative infinity).
We'll plug those a and r values into the infinite geometric sum formula below
S = a/(1-r)
S = (8/7)/(1 - 2/7)
S = (8/7)/(5/7)
S = (8/7)*(7/5)
S = 8/5
S = 1.6
------------------------
Answer in fraction form = 8/5
Answer in decimal form = 1.6
