Answer:-
Given:
9 + 3 + 1..... ∞ are in GP.
Here,
- a = 9
- r = 3/9 = 1/3
We know that,
Sum of an infinite GP (S∞) = a/1 - r
So,
⟶ S∞ = 9/ (1 - 1/3)
⟶ S∞ = 9 / (3 - 1 / 3)
⟶ S∞ = 9 * 3/2
⟶ S∞ = 27/2
∴ The sum of the given GP is 27/2.
Additional Information :-
- A sequence (finite or infinite) on non - zero numbers in every term except the first term , bears a constant ratio with its receding term is called a Geometric progression (GP).
- General form of a GP is a , ar , ar² .... a × rⁿ⁻¹
- The nth term from the end of a GP with the last term l and common ratio r is 1/rⁿ⁻¹
- Sum of first n terms of a GP = a(rⁿ - 1) / r - 1 (r ≠ 1 & n is finite)
- Sum of first n terms of a GP = a × n (r = 1 & n is finite)
- Sum of first n terms of a GP = a/1 - r ( | r | < 1 & n ⟶ ∞ )
