Series
1. In the given sequence, a1 = 8, r = 2 and n = 8
2. Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the geometric series
if 𝑎1 = 1 and r = 2.
𝑎1 (1 − 𝑟 𝑛 )
Sn =
1−𝑟
1 (1 − (2)8 )
S8 =
1− 2
1 1 – 256
S8 =
−1
1 (−255)
S8 =
−1
−255
S8 =
−1
S8 = 255
Hence, the sum of the indicated terms of the geometric sequence is 255.
3. In the given sequence, a1 = 1, r = 2 and n = 7
𝒂𝟏 (𝟏 − 𝒓𝒏 )
Sn = 𝟏−𝒓
𝟏 (𝟏 − (𝟐)𝟕 )
S7 = 𝟏− 𝟐
𝟏 𝟏 –𝟏𝟐𝟖
S7 = −𝟏
𝟏 (−𝟏𝟐𝟕)
S7 = −𝟏
− 𝟏𝟐𝟕
S7 = −𝟏
S7 = 127
Hence, the sum of the indicated terms of the geometric sequence is 127.
4. Find the sum of the first 5 terms of the geometric series if
a1 = 2 and r = 3.
𝒂𝟏 (𝟏 − 𝒓𝒏 )
Sn = 𝟏−𝒓
𝟐 (𝟏 − (𝟑)𝟓 )
S5 = 𝟏−𝟑
𝟐 𝟏 – 𝟐𝟒𝟑
S5 = −𝟐
𝟐 (−𝟐𝟒𝟐)
S5 =
−𝟐
−𝟒𝟖𝟒
S5 =
−𝟐
S5 = 242
Hence, the sum of the indicated terms of the geometric sequence is 242.
5. In the given sequence, a1 = 2, r = 2 and n = 5
𝒂𝟏 (𝟏 − 𝒓𝒏 )
Sn = 𝟏−𝒓
𝟐 (𝟏 − (𝟐)𝟓 )
S5 = 𝟏− 𝟐
𝟐 𝟏 – 𝟑𝟐
S5 = −𝟏
𝟐 (−𝟑𝟏)
S5 = −𝟏
− 𝟔𝟐
S5 = −𝟏
S5 = 62
Hence, the sum of the indicated terms of the geometric sequence is 62.
