Sequence: 24 + 12 + 6 + 3 +...

Step-by-step explanation:

This is infinite geometric series converges.


\sf S \infty \ =a_1 \ x \ (1)/(1-r)

Identify the following

  • a1 = 24
  • r = 12 ÷ 24 = 1/2

Solve:


\rightarrow \sf S \infty \ =24\ x \ (1)/(1-(1)/(2) )


\rightarrow \sf S \infty \ =48

This is series has a sum of 48.
