Use the formula to evaluate the series 1+2+4++a10

Since this is a geometric series, let's use the sum to n terms of a geometric series given by:

, where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.

We know that a = 1
Common ratio (r): 2
Num. of terms: 10

Plugging it all into the equation, we produce:




Thus, the summation is 1,023
