Find the sum of the geometric sequence. (1 point) 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16

That finite sequence we can just add up, using 16 as a common denominator



They probably want you to use the formula



That's the special case of a geometric series where the first term is one.  If it's not we multiply the answer by the first term.

In our example, r=1/2 and n=5, meaning five terms.



Same answer, math works!

If the question was asking about the infinite geometric series, that's just a little bigger:
