Find the Sum of the Infinite Geometric Series 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32
, , , ,
Step 1
This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by gives the next term. In other words, .
Geometric Sequence:
Step 2
The series given has a value of such that or . Therefore, the infinite sum cannot be calculated.
