a. Explanation Given: The geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k , where | r | < 1 . Result used: The geometric series ∑ n = 1 ∞ a r n − 1 = a + a r + a r 2 + ⋯ is convergent if | r | < 1 and its sum is a 1 − r , where a ≠ 0 is the first term and r is the common ratio of the series. Calculation: Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.9 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.9 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows. ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k = 1 1 + 0.9 = 1 1.9 ≈ 0.526 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k ≈ 0.526 . Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.7 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.7 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.7 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.7 ) k = 1 1 + 0.7 = 1 1.7 ≈ 0.588 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.9 ) k ≈ 0.526 . Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.5 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.5 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.5 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.5 ) k = 1 1 + 0.5 = 1 1.5 ≈ 0.667 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.5 ) k ≈ 0.667 . Obtain the geometric series f ( r ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ r k at r = − 0.2 . Here, the geometric series ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.2 ) k with first term of the series is a = 1 and common ratio is | r | = 0.2 < 1 . Compute the sum of the geometric series by the Result stated above as follows, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0.2 ) k = 1 1 + 0.2 = 1 1.2 ≈ 0.833 That is, ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( − 0 b.
