< Prev
Next >

I.

In the series $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 2*(1.1)^{n-1}$$, the common ratio is $$1.1$$, which is greater than 1.

II.

A geometric series with $$|r| > 1$$ diverges.

III.

Even though the series diverges, its sum can be computed using $$S = \frac{2}{1-1.1}$$.

Which of the above statements are true?

n a_n (where a_n = 2*(1.1)^(n-1))
1 2
2 2.2
3 2.42
4 2.662
A

I and II are true

B

I, II, and III are true

C
