The sum of the geometric series will be 1/4. And the sum of the series will be the negative 0.13.
The complete question is attached below.
Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio. Then the sum of the geometric series will be
S = a / (1 – r) if r < 1
S = a / (r – 1) if r > 1
The series is given below.
1/16 + 3/64 + 9/256 + 27/1024 ....
Then we have
a = 1/16
r = (3/64) / (1/16) = 3/4
Then the sum of the series will be
S = (1/16) / [1 – (3/4)]
S = (1/16) / (1/4)
S = 1/4
Let [tex]\rm S = (-0.13)^m[/tex], where m = 1
Then the value of S will be
S = (-0.13)¹
S = -0.13
Hence, the sum of the series will be the negative 0.13.
