公式

## Geometric Series Sum ### Finite Sum **Sₙ = a × (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)** (when r ≠ 1) ### Infinite Sum (converges only when |r| < 1) **S∞ = a / (1 - r)** ### Example 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... = 1 / (1 - 0.5) = 2 The infinite sum converges to a finite value when the common ratio has absolute value less than 1.

计算示例

1 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 + ... (10 terms and infinite).

  1. 01Finite sum (10 terms) = 1 × (1 - 0.5¹⁰)/(1 - 0.5) = (1 - 0.000977)/0.5 ≈ 1.998047
  2. 02Infinite sum = 1/(1-0.5) = 2
  3. 03Last term = 1 × 0.5⁹ = 0.001953

常见问题

When does a geometric series converge?

A geometric series converges (has a finite sum) only when the absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1 (|r| < 1).

What is the classic example of a convergent geometric series?

1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... converges to 2. This can be visualized by repeatedly halving the remaining distance to 2.

What happens when r = 1?

When r = 1, every term equals a, so the sum of n terms is simply n × a. The infinite sum diverges.
