Describe an infinite geometric series with a beginning value of 2 that converges to 10. What are the first 4 terms of the sequence? Please Help
I'm not sure ..but did you look it up :3 https://www.google.com/search?q=Describe+an+infinite+geometric+series+with+a+beginning+value+of+2+that+converges+to+10.+What+are+the+first+4+terms+of+the+sequence%3F&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Ok cool Thanks :)
I hope it would help <3

ok sorry i had to double check the math before i answered so you have a geometric series: \[2,2r,2r^2 ... 2r^n\] where \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} r^n = 5\] Note another limit used for continuous compounding, how "e" is defined \[\rightarrow \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} (1+\frac{i}{n})^n = e^i\] Now if you let : \[r = 1+\frac{i}{n} , i = \ln(5)\] Then \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}r^n = (1+\frac{\ln(5)}{n})^n = e^{\ln 5} = 5\]
Whoa Thanks :)
