Geometric Series

Summing or Adding the terms of a geometric sequence creates what is called a series.

Sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

Series: 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64

Partial Sum of a first nth terms of a geometric series.

EXAMPLE 4: Determine the sum of the geometric series 3 +6 + 12 + ... + 1536 .

EXAMPLE 5: Determine the sum of the geometric series
