Sum the following geometric series to infinity:
`(a)(sqrt(2)+1)+1+(sqrt(2)-1).............+oo`
`(b)1/2+1/(3^3)+1/(2^3)+1/(3^4)+1/(2^5)+1/(3^6)..........+oo`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(i)`Given, `(sqrt(2)+1)+1+(sqrt(2)-1).............+oo`
`r=(sqrt(2)-1)` and `a=(sqrt2+1)`
sum of infinite series is `a/(1-r)`
`=>(sqrt(2)+1)/(1-(sqrt(2)-1))`
`=>(sqrt(2)+1)/(2-sqrt(2))`
`=>(sqrt(2)+1)/(2-sqrt(2))xx(2+sqrt(2))/(2+sqrt(2))`
`=>(4+3sqrt2)/(4-2)`
