Sum of a Geometric Series


It is important to try to sum a geometric series.

When the ratio is bigger than 1 the general term get bigger and bigger and the series do not converge.

When the ratio is less than 1, this series converge and its sum is:

Here we are going to study a particular case, when the ratio is:

Then, this series can be represented in this manner:

This convergent series of ration 1/4 sums 1/3 | matematicasvisuales

Then, the sum of this geometric series of ration 1/4 is:

Using a decreasing positive function you can define series. The integral test is a tool to decide if a series converges o diverges. If a series converges, the integral test provide us lower and upper bounds.

There is a standarization of the size of the paper that is called DIN A. Successive paper sizes in the series A1, A2, A3, A4, and so forth, are defined by halving the preceding paper size along the larger dimension.
