Evaluate the following geometric sum. 1/2 + 1/10 + ( 1/50) + (1/250 ) + midline ellipsis + (1/31,250)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following geometric progression; 1/2 + 1/10 + ( 1/50) + (1/250 ) + ... + (1/31,250),the sum of the arithmetic geometric progression is expressed using the formula below;

Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r  for r less than 1

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

a is the first term of the series

In between the mid-line ellipsis there are 2 more terms, making the total number of terms n to be 7]

common ratio = (1/10)/(1/2) =  (1/50)/(1/10) =  (1/250)/(1/50) = 1/5  

a = 1/2

Substituting the given values into the equation above

S7 = 1/2{1 - (1/5)⁷}/1 - 1/5

S7 = 1/2(1- 1/78125)/(4/5)

S7 = 1/2 (78124/78125)/(4/5)

S7 = 78124/156,250 * 5/4

S7 = 390,620/625000

S7 = 39062/62,500

Hence the geometric sum is 39062/62,500

answer: i guess 105 degrees?
