Question

The common ratio in a geometric series is 0.50.50, point, 5 and the first term is 256.

Find the sum of the first 6 terms in the series.

Answer 1

504

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the correct question is like:The common ratio in a geometric series is 0.50 ( point 5) and the first term is 256.

Find the sum of the first 6 terms in the series.

If it's right, then

Sₙ = (a₁ × (1 - rⁿ)) / (1 - r)

S₆ = (256 × ( 1 - 0.5⁶)) / (1 - 0.5)

= (256 × 0.984375) / 0.5

= 504

hope it will help :)
