you have been asking these from morning ...did you got your number 11
well it's a geometric series
I post this 10 hours ago, I can't find it
btw it's answer was -52
now here we have infinite series
yes I got -52, but this not thesame number I asking
yes, I did try very hard but I can answer corect
\[Sum_{G.P} = \frac{7^n -1}{6}\]
Let me give you formula
\[Sum_{G.P} = a \times \frac{r^n -1}{r -1}\]
a is the first term of the sequence .... r is the ratio
the series is 1 , 7, 49 , .....7^n-1 analogous to a , ar ,a (r^2) ,......a r^n-1
my eqution is \[7^{k+1-1}=7^k\]\[\frac{1}{6}[7^{K}-1]=\frac{1}{6}[7^{k+1}-1]\]
I add\[\frac{1}{6}(7^k-1)+7^{k+1}=\frac{1}{6}(7^{k+1}-1]\]
this 2 equation not match, I spend many hours to solve
See Nth term is 7^n-1 so we have 1 + 7 + 49 + ...+ 7^n-1 \[\sum_{k=0}^{n -1} 7^k\]
\[(1 - r ) \sum_{0}^{n-1} = (1 - r) ( a + ar +a r^2 +...ar^n-1)\]
I hope you got that i missed 7^k
I did sept 1,2 stuck step 3, can't prove true for n=k+1 2 equation solve not math
a =1 and r = 7 then when we open right hand side we have a - ar + ar -ar^2 +.....+ar^n-1 - ar^n-1 +ar^n
which gives lhs = a + ar^n
\[\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 7^k = \frac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 -r}\]
sorry typo in my second last and third last replies it should be -ar^n not + ar^n
now enter a =1 and r = 7 and you will have your answer
salina did it help ?
yes , thank
