The sum of the first 8 terms is 2.51 to the nearest hundredth
Step-by-step explanation:
In the geometric sequence there is a constant ratio between each two consecutive terms
The formula of the sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is:
, where
- a is the first term
- r is the constant ratio between the consecutive terms
∵ The sequence is 6 , -5 , 25/6 , .............
∵ -5 ÷ 6 =
∵ ÷ -5 =
- There is a constant ratio between the consecutive terms
∴ The sequence is a geometric sequence
∵ The first term is 6
∴ a = 6
∵ The constant ratio is
∴ r =
∵ We need to find the sum of 8 terms
∴ n = 8
- Substitute the values of a, r and n in the rule above
∴
∴
- Round it to the nearest hundredth
∴
The sum of the first 8 terms is 2.51 to the nearest hundredth
