Textbook Question

Chapter 1.1, Problem 2P

Derive the formula (1.4) for the sum S_n of the geometric progression S_n = a+ar+ar²+â€¦+ar^n-1. Hint: Multiply Sⁿ by r and subtract the result from S_n; then solve for S_n. Show that the geometric series (1.6) converges if and only if |r| < 1; also show that if |r| < l, the sum is given by equation (1.8).
