Chapter 12: Q 167. (page 1199)

In the following exercises, find the sum of the geometric sequence.
${鈭�}_{i = 1}^{10} 9 {(\frac{1}{3})}^{i}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The obtained sum is 4.5.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information.

Consider the given geometric sequence.

${鈭�}_{i = 1}^{10} 9 {(\frac{1}{3})}^{i}$

02

Step 2. Express in terms of the given sequence.

Write the few terms of the sequence.

$\begin{array}{rcl} {鈭�}_{i = 1}^{10} 9 {(\frac{1}{3})}^{i} & = & 9 {(\frac{1}{3})}^{1}, 9 {(\frac{1}{3})}^{2}, 9 {(\frac{1}{3})}^{3} + 鈰� \\ = & 3, 1, \frac{1}{3} + 鈰� \end{array}$

03

Step 3. Find the common ratio.

The obtained sequence is ${鈭�}_{i = 1}^{10} 9 {(\frac{1}{3})}^{i} = 3, 1, \frac{1}{3} + 鈰�$ .

The first term is 3. Now find the common ratio.

$r = \frac{1}{3}, \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{1} = \frac{1}{3}$

Thus, the common ratio is $\frac{1}{3}$ .

04

Step 4. Find the sum of the given sequence.

The sum formula of the geometric sequence is $S_{n} = \frac{a_{1} (1 - r^{n})}{1 - r}$ .

Substitute the value of the first and the common ratio in the sum formula.

$\begin{array}{rcl} S_{10} & = & \frac{3 (1 - {(\frac{1}{3})}^{10})}{1 - \frac{1}{3}} \\ = & \frac{3 (1 - \frac{1}{3^{10}})}{\frac{3 - 1}{3}} \\ = & \frac{9 (1 - \frac{1}{3^{10}})}{2} \\ = & \frac{9}{2} - \frac{1}{2 路 3^{8}} \\ 鈮� & 4.5 \end{array}$
