Question 7

Find the sum to 20 terms in the geometric progression 0.15, 0.015, 0.0015 …

Answer

The given G.P. is 0.15, 0.015, 0.00015, …

Here, a = 0.15 and r = fraction numerator 0.015 over denominator 0.15 end fraction equals 0.1

S subscript n space end subscript equals space fraction numerator a space open parentheses 1 minus r to the power of n close parentheses over denominator 1 minus r end fraction
s o
S subscript 20 space equals space fraction numerator 0.15 open square brackets 1 minus open parentheses 0.1 close parentheses to the power of 20 close square brackets over denominator 1 minus 0.1 end fraction
space space space space space space space space space equals space fraction numerator 0.15 over denominator 0.9 end fraction open square brackets 1 minus open parentheses 0.1 close parentheses to the power of 20 close square brackets
