2 Geometric series The sum of a finite geometric series; the sum to infinity of a convergent geometric series, including the use of r 1. The general term and the sum to n terms are required. The proof of the sum formula should be known. Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 2
3 Finding and Using the Common Ratio in a Geometric Sequence A geometric sequence is a sequence generated by multiplying the previous term by the same number. The number that you multiply by is called the common ratio. Example 1. 2, 6, 18, 54 common ratio = = = 3 Example 2. 12, 4, 4 3 common ratio = 1/ = 1 3 To calculate the common ratio find u 2 u 1 or u 3 u 2 Example 3. If 3, x, 9 are the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence, find the exact value of x x 3 = 9 x ( 3) x = 27 x ( x) x 2 = 27 x = 27 x = 3 3 Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 3
4 Defining a Geometric Sequence The general term for a geometric sequence is:- u n = ar n 1 where a = 1st term, r = common difference n = term number U n = term you are calculating sequence goes a, ar, ar2, ar3, ar4, etc. Example 1. The first 4 terms of a geometric sequence are 4, 12, 36, 108. Find the 13 th term. a = 4, r = 3, n = 13 Using u n = ar n 1 U 13 = = = Example 2. a) Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence 3, 4.5, 6.75, Common ratio = U n + 1 u n r = r = 1 5 b) Find the 20 th term a = 3, r = 1 5, n = 20 Using u n = ar n 1 c) Find the nth tem U 20 = = = a = 3, r = 1 5, n = n Using u n = ar n 1 U n = n 1 = n 1 Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 4
5 Example 3. If the 6 th term of a geometric sequence is 32 and the 3 rd term is 4. Find the first term and the common ratio. Using u n = ar n 1 u 6 = ar 6 1 u 3 = ar 3 1 u 6 = 32 u 3 = 4 ar 5 = 32 ar 2 = 4 By comparing the ratios ar 5 ar = r 3 = 8 r = 2 Substitute the value of r into one of your equations r = 2 ar 2 = 4 a 2 2 = 4 4a = 4 a = 1 So the common ratio is 2 and the first term is 1 Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 5
6 Growth and Decay Problems Remember for increases the multiplier is 1.?, if it s a decrease the multiplier is 0.? Example 1. If property is increasing by 7% per year, what is the multiplier? 100% + 7% = 107% 107% = = 1 07 The multiplier = 1 07 Example 2. What is the first term in the geometric progression 3, 6, 12, 24 which will exceed one million? a = 3, r = 2 u n > n = n using ar n 1 > n 1 > n 1 > To solve unknown powers we use logs log 2 n 1 > log (n 1) log 2 > log n 1 > log log 2 n 1 > (2dp) n > n = 20 The 20th term is the first term to exceed 1 million Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 6
7 Finding the Partial Sum of a Geometric Series General formula for a partial sum is:- S n = a(rn 1) r 1 where r > 1 Why? or S n = a(1 rn ) 1 r where r < 1 If S n = a + ar + ar 2 + ar 3 + ar ar n 1 ( r) r S n = ar + ar 2 + ar 3 + ar 4 + ar ar n (subtract equations) rs n S n = a + ar n or S n rs n = a ar n S n (r 1) = a(r n 1) S n (1 r) = a(1 r n ) S n = a(rn 1) r 1 S n = a(1 rn ) 1 r Example 1. Find the sum of the first 9 terms of the geometric series a = 18 r = n = 9 using S = a(r n 1) n r 1 S 9 = 18( ) S 9 = 18( ) S 9 = S n = 54 (2sf) Example 2. Find the sum of the following geometric series Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 7
8 a = 0 5 r = 2 u n = 1024 n = n using u n = ar n = n 1 log 2048 = log 2 n 1 log 2048 = (n 1) log 2 log 2048 = n 1 log 2 11 = n 1 12 = n First we need to know how many terms we are adding together. This answer means we want to add together the first 12 terms. a = 0 5 r = 2 n = 12 using S n = a(rn 1) r 1 S 12 = 0 5(212 1) 2 1 S 12 = 0 5(4095) 1 S 12 = the sum of the first 12 terms is Example 3. Find r = r Using this information the sequence begins 6, 12, 24 (3x2 1, 3x2 2 etc) a = 6 n = 10 r = 2 S n = a(rn 1) r 1 S 10 = 6(210 1) 2 1 S 10 = S 10 = 6138 Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 8
9 Finding the Sum to Infinity The total of all the terms in a series is called the sum to infinity. This occurs if r < 1 (which makes it a convergent geometric series and r > -1. Formula for the sum to infinity:- S = a 1 r when 1 < r < 1 Example 1. Find the sum to infinity of the sequence 49, 14, 4 a = 49 r = 2 7 S = = a 1 r = 68 6 Example 2. Find the first 4 terms of the geometric series if the first term is 12 and the sum to infinity is 24. a = 12 S = 24 we need to find r S = 24 = a 1 r 12 1 r 24(1 r) = r = = 24r 0 5 = r Because r = = = = 1 5 first 4 terms are 12, 6, 3, 1.5 Core Mathematics 2 Geometric Series 9
