Q. What is the sum of the first 5 terms of the series 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ...?
Show solution
Solution
This is a geometric series with a = 1 and r = 1/2. The sum of the first n terms is S_n = a(1 - r^n) / (1 - r). Here, S_5 = 1(1 - (1/2)^5) / (1 - 1/2) = 1(1 - 1/32) / (1/2) = 2(31/32) = 62/32 = 1.9375.
