1 Aim: What is the geometric series ?
Do Now: Find the sum of each of the following sequences:

2 The sum of an geometric sequence is called geometric series
The formula to find the finite (limited number of terms) geometric sequence is 3, 15, 75, 375, 1875, 9375, 46875, , is a geometric sequence, find the sum of sequence.

3 Write as a series and then find the sum

4 Infinite series : The last term of the series is the infinity
An infinite arithmetic series has no limit An infinite geometric series has no limit when An infinite geometric series has a finite limit when the limit can be found by the formula

5 Find the sum of the following infinite geometric sequence: 4, 4(0
Find the sum of the following infinite geometric sequence: , 4(0.6), 4(0.6)2, 4(0.6)3, . . ., 4(0.6)n - 1 , . . . a1 = 4 and r = 0.6 Find

6 Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the geometric
series Find the sum of five terms of the geometric series whose first term is 2 and fifth term is 162 S5 = 242

7 1. Find the sum of first 10 terms of 250, 100, 40, 16,...
