Which of the following represents the series in summation notation?
3 + 3/5 + 3/25 + 3/125 + 3/625

Respuesta :


[tex]\sum_{n=0}^{4} \frac{3}{ {5}^{n} } [/tex]

Answer with explanation:

The given series is:

    [tex]\Rightarrow 3+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{25}+\frac{3}{125}+\frac{3}{625}+.........\\\\\Rightarrow 3+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{5^2}+\frac{3}{5^3}+\frac{3}{5^4}+.........[/tex]

This is a Geometric Expression because the ratio of next term to Previous term is Constant for any two consecutive term in the series which is equal to [tex]=\frac{\frac{3}{5}}{3}\\\\=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

In Summation Notation

   [tex]\sum_{k=1}^{k=\infty} \frac{3}{5^{k-1}}[/tex]
