Sum of series of G.P. = Sn = a(1-rⁿ) / 1-r
Here, a = 5
r = 1/5

Substitute their values into the expression:
Sn = 5(1-1/5⁵) / 1 - 1/5
Sn = 5*5/4 [1-1/3125]
Sn = 25/4 [ 3124/3125]
Sn = 781 / 125

In short, Your Answer would be 781/125 in fraction form
or 6.248 in decimal form

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(6, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of the segment RS is point M (5, 3). Therefore, the average of the x coordinates of R and S is 5, and the average of the y coordinates of R and S is 3. The x coordinate of R is 4. For 4 and the x coordinate of S to have an average of 5, the x coordinate of S must be 6. Therefore, our point is of the form (6, y). For 8 and the y coordinate of S to have an average of 3, the y coordinate of S must be -2. Therefore, our answer is (6, -2)
