1
Infinite GP’s
2
Sum of an Infinte GP: the sum of a infinite sequence can converge or diverge
Converge: A sequence that converges has a limit it approaches. Diverge: A sequence that diverges either has no limit or approaches infinity.
3
Common Ratio The absolute value of the common ratio must be less than 1 If we remember absolute values then what range must r be in? What happens if r is greater than 1 or less than -1?
4
Example Figure out if each sequence is converging or diverging:
5
Example For what values of this does the series converge?
6
Example Find the first 3 terms of the infinite GP: Sum=1 and a=1/2
7
Example Find the sum of an infinite GP if the sum of the first two terms is 80 and the third term is 4.
8
Group Problem Find all values of x which work for the given infinite GP Sum
