Find the sum to infinity of the following Geometric Progression: `1,1/3,1/9,...`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`3/2`

Given series is in G.P.
Let `a` = first term and `r` = common ratio
Here, `a=1` and `r=1/3`
`therefore S=a/(1−r)​=1/(1-1/3)​=3/2`.
Thus, the sum of given series is `3/2`.
