Q3 of 28 Page 9

Find the sum of the .

We observe that the above progression possesses a common ratio. So, it is a geometric progression.


Common ratio = r




Sum of infinite GP = ,where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.


Note: We can only use the above formula if |r|<1


Clearly, a = 1 and
