If the sum of an infinite decreasing G.P...

If the sum of an infinite decreasing G.P. is 3 and the sum of the squares of its term is `9/2,` then write its first term and common difference.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let us take a `GP` whose first term is `a` and common ratio `r`.
`:. s_(oo)y=(a)/(1-r)`
`=> a/(1-r)=3`...(1)
and, sum of the terms of the `GP=a^2,(ar)^2,(ar^2)^2, . . . oo`
