To find the sum of the series \( S = 1 - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{32} + \ldots \), we can recognize that this series is an infinite geometric series.
### Step 1: Identify the first term and common ratio
The first term \( a \) of the series is:
\[
a = 1
\]
The common ratio \( r \) can be determined by taking the ratio of the second term to the first term:
...
