Consider the finite geometric series defined by the summation ∑i=0n−1ARi\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} A R^i∑i=0n−1ARi.
Prove that the sum Sn S_n\,Sn of this series is given by the formula
Sn=A(1−Rn)1−R S_n = \frac{A(1 - R^n)}{1 - R} Sn=1−RA(1−Rn)Practise Edexcel A Level Maths 3.4 Geometric Series with exam-style questions for A Level Maths. 27 questions, matched to the Edexcel A Level Maths (9MA0) specification and written in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 style.
