The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the sum of the infinite series 0.3, 0.18, 0.108, ..., we first need to identify the nature of the series. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the First Term (a)**: The first term of the series is given as: \[ a = 0.3 \] **Hint**: Look for the first number in the sequence to identify 'a'. 2. **Determine the Common Ratio (r)**: To find the common ratio \( r \), we can divide the second term by the first term: \[ r = \frac{0.18}{0.3} = 0.6 \] **Hint**: The common ratio in a geometric series can be found by dividing any term by the previous term. 3. **Check the Condition for Convergence**: Since \( |r| < 1 \) (in this case, \( 0.6 < 1 \)), the series is convergent, and we can use the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series. **Hint**: For a geometric series to converge, the absolute value of the common ratio must be less than 1. 4. **Use the Formula for the Sum of an Infinite Geometric Series**: The formula for the sum \( S \) of an infinite geometric series is given by: \[ S = \frac{a}{1 - r} \] Substituting the values of \( a \) and \( r \): \[ S = \frac{0.3}{1 - 0.6} = \frac{0.3}{0.4} \] **Hint**: Remember to substitute the values carefully into the formula. 5. **Calculate the Sum**: Now, we can simplify the expression: \[ S = \frac{0.3}{0.4} = 0.75 \] **Hint**: When dividing decimals, you can convert them to fractions for easier calculations. ### Final Answer: The sum of the infinite series is: \[ S = 0.75 \]
