$C^n_k= \frac{n!}{(n-k)!c!} 
\\
\\C^5_3= \frac{5!}{(5-3)!3!} = \frac{5!}{2!3!} = \frac{5\times4\times3}{3\times2\times1} =10
\\
\\C^8_8= \frac{8!}{(8-8)!8!} = \frac{8!}{0!8!} = \frac{8!}{1\times8!}=1
\\
\\C^{12}_6= \frac{12!}{(12-6)!6!} = \frac{12!}{6!6!} = \frac{12\times11\times10\times9\times8\times7}{6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1} =\frac{11\times3\times4\times7}{1} =924$

What is the sum of the geometric series

lbvjy [14]

If $S$ denotes the sum of the first $n$ terms of a geometric series with first term $a$ and common ratio $r$ , then

$S=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-3}+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}$
$rS=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}+ar^n$
$\implies S-rS=a+(ar-ar)+(ar^2-ar^2)+\cdots+(ar^{n-1}-ar^{n-1})-ar^n$
$\implies (1-r)S=a(1-r^n)$
$\implies S=a=\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

Using summation notation, you have

$S=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^nar^{x-1}=\sum_{x=0}^{n-1}ar^x=a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

In this case, you have $a=2$ , $r=\dfrac12$ , and $n=16$ . So the value of the sum is

$\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^{15}2\left(\frac14\right)^x=2\dfrac{1-\left(\frac14\right)^{16}}{1-\frac14}\approx2.67$

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer would be 3.
