To find: The sum of the finite geometric sequence and then use the graphing utility to verify the result.
Answer to Problem 43CR
Thesum of the sequence is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given sequence is
Calculation:
Consider the given sequence is,
Expand the above equation as,
Consider the sum of finite geometric sequence is of the form,
Then,
Now check the sum of the sequence by the use of graphing utility as,
In the maple select the summation
Thus, the value displayed on the screen is,
Thus, the sum is verified.
