The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence is given by:
If a geometric sequence has a common ratio ∣r∣<1, then each term will be smaller than the previous term. As the terms get smaller and smaller, the sum of all the terms approaches a finite value:
Nice work completing Geometric Series, here's a quick recap of what we covered:
