Answer:
a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.
Answer: -0.82
b) Find the sum to infinity of this sequence.
Answer: 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term in geometric series is given by
where
a is the first term
r is the common ratio and
n is the nth term
_________________________________
given
a = 4
4th term = -2.196
let
common ratio of this sequence. be r
a) Find the common ratio of this sequence.
answer: -0.82
sum of infinity of geometric sequence is given by = a/(1-r)
thus,
sum to infinity of this sequence = 4/(1-(-0.82) = 4/1.82 = 2.2
