Same formula

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just that, here sum is given, and you need to find r

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

give it a try :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large S_n = a_1(\frac{1-r^n}{1-r})\)

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

okay. where would i put the sum? where the s is?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yep

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(a_1 = 4\) \(n = 5\) \(S_n = S_5 = 244\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there is another way to do this problem , but lets do it the way we did this before first :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u knw wat, i got second thoughts about this method. it wont work
