Help ASAP! PreCalc Find the sum, (if it exists), of the infinite geometric sequence with first term 1 and r= -1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sum of infinite series \[= a{(1-r^n) \over {1-r}}\] where a-->first term r-->common ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant sum of geometric sequence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1*(1-(-1/4)/(1-(1/3)) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

last term 1/4**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Instead of n , you should put infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So basically, you get 1*(1-(0)/(1-(1/4))
