We are given the Geometric Series:
which can be rewritten as:
here, we can see that every term is (1/3) times the last term
Hence, we can say that the common ratio of this Geometric Series is 1/3
Finding the Sum:
We know that the sum of a Geometric Series is:
(where r is the common ratio, a is the first term, and n is the number of terms)
another look at the given Geometric Series tells us that the first term is 2 and the number of terms is 7
plugging these values in the formula, we get:
Sₙ = 2.97
