A geometric series has first term 4 and its sum to infinity is 5 Find the common ratio?
1/8
What does Geometric Series represent?
A geometric series represents the partial sums of a geometric sequence. The nth term in a geometric series with first term a and common ratio r is:T(n) = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
How do you find the common ratio in a geometric sequence?
Divide any term in the sequence by the previous term. That is the common ratio of a geometric series. If the series is defined in the form of a recurrence relationship, it is even simpler. For a geometric series with common ratio r, the recurrence relation is Un+1 = r*Un for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
Condition for an infinite geometric series with common ratio to be convergent?
The absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1.
How do you solve geometric sequence and series?
There can be no solution to geometric sequences and series: only to specific questions about them.

What does summation of infinite series?
The summation of a geometric series to infinity is equal to a/1-rwhere a is equal to the first term and r is equal to the common difference between the terms.
A geometric progression has a common ratio -1/2 and the sum of its first 3 terms is 18. Find the sum to infinity?
The sum to infinity of a geometric series is given by the formula Sā=a1/(1-r), where a1 is the first term in the series and r is found by dividing any term by the term immediately before it.
What does Geometric Series represent?
A geometric series represents the partial sums of a geometric sequence. The nth term in a geometric series with first term a and common ratio r is:T(n) = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
How can you tell if a infinite geometric series has a sum or not?
The geometric series is, itself, a sum of a geometric progression. The sum of an infinite geometric sequence exists if the common ratio has an absolute value which is less than 1, and not if it is 1 or greater.
How do you find the common ratio in a geometric sequence?
Divide any term in the sequence by the previous term. That is the common ratio of a geometric series. If the series is defined in the form of a recurrence relationship, it is even simpler. For a geometric series with common ratio r, the recurrence relation is Un+1 = r*Un for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
Condition for an infinite geometric series with common ratio to be convergent?
The absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1.
Differentiate between arithmetic series and geometric series?
In an arithmetic series, each term is defined by a fixed value added to the previous term. This fixed value (common difference) may be positive or negative.In a geometric series, each term is defined as a fixed multiple of the previous term. This fixed value (common ratio) may be positive or negative.The common difference or common ratio can, technically, be zero but they result in pointless series.
How do you solve geometric sequence and series?
There can be no solution to geometric sequences and series: only to specific questions about them.
What is a series?
a sequential series of geometric shapes

If the sum of an infinite geometric series is 12 and the common ratio is one third then term 1 is what?
