Find the sum of the following series:`1/2+1/(3^2)+1/(2^3)+1/(3^4)+1/(2^5)+1/(3^6)+oo` |
|
Answer» The given series can be expressed as the sum of teo infinite geometric series, shown below. `{1/2 +1/3^(2)+1/2^(3)+1/3^(4)+1/2^(5)+1/3^(6)+...oo}` `={1/2+1/2^(3)+1/2^(5)+...oo}+{1/3^(2)+1/3^(4)+1/3^(6)+..oo}` `{"an infinite GP with "a=1/2 and r=1/4}` `{"an infinite GP with "a=1/9 and r=1/9}` `=((1//2))/((1-1/4))+((1//9))/((1-1/9))=((1//2))/((3//4))+((1//9))/((8//9))` `=(1/2xx4/3)+(1/9xx9/8)=(2/3+1/8)` `=(16+3)/24=19/24`. |
