To find:
The sum of infinite geometric series.
Given:
The geometric series is 1+14+116+164+...
Concept used:
The sum of infinite term of the geometric series is
S=a1r(r<1)
Here, a is first term, r is common ratio( less than 1) and S is the sum of the infinite series.
Calculation:
The first term of the geometric series is 1.
The common ratio can be obtained by the ratio of second term by first term.
141=14
The common ratio 14 is less than 1.
Substitute 14 for r and 1 for a in equation
S=1114
=1414
=43
Thus, the sum of infinite geometric series is 43
