Final answer:

The question involves calculating the sum of a geometric series. The necessary details for such calculations, such as the first term, the common ratio, and the number of terms, were not provided in the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about finding the sum of a geometric series. A geometric series is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. To find the sum of a geometric series, the formula S = a1(1 - r^n) / (1 - r) is used, where S is the sum of the series, a1 is the first term in the series, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms. However, the information provided does not include the values needed, such as the first term, common ratio, or number of terms, to calculate the sum of the geometric series.

If the common ratio, r, is less than one and greater than negative one, and we want to find the sum to infinity, we can use S = a1 / (1 - r) as the series converges. It is essential to have these details, or it would not be possible to provide the sum of the series.
