3^n+1/2^3n+1

#

is the sequence it looks like

#

now try turning that into the form (x)^n, and use 1/1-x to solve for the sum

#

don't forget to multiply any coefficients tho

#

hol up i almost got it

#

but like not really

#

bruv im getting 2.2 as and answer

#

lol

#

wait i gotta correct it

#

imma get the answer in 1 second hol up

#

its C

#

2.4

#

@astral mason

#

take the formula far the sum of a geometrycal thing idk what its called im croatian and then solve the limes of the sum of the geometrycal thing

#

formula for the sum is S = a1 * ( q^n - 1 ) / (q - 1)

#

and from the start you can see that a1 is 3/2 and q is 3/8

astral mason
#

I thought it was a1/1-r

#

For geomstric

vapid jewel
#

and then you get -24/10 * -1 and you get 24/10 which is 2.4

#

what idk bro im croatian we have our own formula

#

the geometric is a1 + a1 * q + a1 * q^2 + a1 * q^3 ...... a1 * q^n

#

and the formula i know is the one i wrote

#

and then since we dont have the number n becouse n is infinity we gotta solve the limes of the sum formula

#

thats how i would do it

#

idk other wayus

#

ways

#

also what is a1/1-r

#

you mean a1 / q^1-r

#

yeah so you gotta realise in the question that its a gemetrical serias

astral mason
#

Yeah

vapid jewel
astral mason
#

R is the common ratio

#

A1 is the first term

vapid jewel
#

r for this one is 3/8?

#

thats what u mean by r?

astral mason
#

Idk that's j how we learned to find the sum of the series but idk what the common ratio is

#

R is what is to the nth power in the geometric series

vapid jewel
#

you mean for this one for example r would be 3/8?

#

yeah so the q in my formula is ur r

#

?

astral mason
#

I think so

#

Oh shoot I get it

vapid jewel
#

yeah u get it correct

#

yeah that formula is the sum if the series goes on infinitly

#

i forgot about that formula lol

#

i did it the long way

astral mason

loool
