Find the sum :
…. To 2n terms
We can split the above expression into 2 parts. We will split 2n terms into 2 parts also which will leave it as n terms and another n terms .
=
Sum of a G.P. series is represented by the formula, , when |r|<1. ‘Sn’ represents the sum of the G.P. series upto nth terms, ‘a’ represents the first term, ‘r’ represents the common ratio and ‘n’ represents the number of terms.
Here,
a =
r = (ratio between the n term and n-1 term)
n terms
