Exercise Three Infinite GP

The document provides 5 exercises involving infinite geometric series (GPS). Exercise 1 asks to find the common ratio and sum to infinity for two GPS. Exercise 2 asks to find the sum of two infinite GPS. Exercise 3 asks to find the third term of a GP given its first term exceeds the second by 1 and the infinite sum is 16. Exercise 4 asks to find the two possible common ratios of a GP given its second term is 24 and infinite sum is 100. Exercise 5 asks to find the third term of a GP given the infinite sum is 256 and the sum of the first 3 terms is 224.
