Question
Find each sum that converges.$$\frac{4}{3}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}+\dots$$
Step 1
In this case, the series is a geometric series where each term is a constant multiple of the previous term. The general form of a geometric series is $a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 + \dots$ where $a$ is the first term and $r$ is the common ratio. Show more…
