To find the sum of n terms of a GP
Let a = First term, r = common ratio, n = number of terms. Multiply both sides of (i) by r, the common ratio. Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get ..
Let a = First term, r = common ratio, n = number of terms. Multiply both sides of (i) by r, the common ratio. Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get ..To find the sum of a number of terms in Arithmetical Progression:
Let a=first term, d = common difference, l=t n =last term, s = required sum. Then, Writing the series in the reverse order, Adding together the two series, ..
Let a=first term, d = common difference, l=t n =last term, s = required sum. Then, Writing the series in the reverse order, Adding together the two series, ..Examples:
i) 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + ... is a series in which first term is 1, second term is 4, third term is 7 and so on. ii) 3 - 9 + 27 - 81 + ... is also a series in which the first term is 3, second term is -9, third term is 27 and so ..
Examples:
2, 5, 8, 11, 14 , 32 37, 33 , 1 A sequence is called infinite if the number of terms is infinite. An infinite sequence has no last term. In this sequence, every term is followed by a new term..
Geometric Progressions (G.P.)
Geometric Progressions (G.P.) - The series of terms a, ar, ar 2 , ar 3 ,.... in which each term bears a constant ratio to the preceeding term is a geometric progression. The constant ratio is called the common ratio.OR A geometrical progression is a succession of ..

The series of terms a, ar, ar 2 , ar 3 ,.... in which each term bears a constant ratio to the preceeding term is a geometric progression. The constant ratio is called the common rati..
Note:
i) The series formed by the reciprocals of the terms of a geometric series is also a geometric series. ii) There is no general method of finding the sum of a harmonic progressi..
Examples:
1. Find the sum to the series 1+2x+3x 2 +.... to n terms and to infinity when x < ..
Case III:
If D = 0 and all D 1 , D 2 and D 3 are zeros, this system has either infinite solution or no solution. In this case, put x = k(y = k or z = k), in any two of the equations, find y and z in terms of k. Substitute these values of x, y and z in terms of k, in the third equation...
Harmonic Mean (H.M.)
If three quantities are in harmonic progression, then the middle quantity is called the harmonic mean between the other two. Example: 1/3, 1/7, 1/11 are in H.P., then 1/7 is the middle term. Hence 1/7 is the harmonic mean between 1/3 and 1/1..

Very fast and clear. Made sure I understood the concepts instead of giving the answers to the problem.
Terific helped showed how to apply formulas i will study these examples to go further--much gratitude--will come back again ThankYou
This was excellent. I was cluesless on this subject and now I completely understand it.Mind blowing service,Thank you Tutor Vista
The tutor let me do the work and corrected me when i made a mistake. They didn't just show me how to do it. They gave me instructions. We managed to do several problems.I really like this service - cindy
