Question 16

A geometric sequence has first term 1 and common ratio 0.75.

a.

(i) Find the sum to infinity, S∞S_{\infty}S∞​, of the sequence.

(ii) Hence, or otherwise, evaluate

∑n=1∞(sin⁡60∘)2n \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (\sin 60^{\circ})^{2n} n=1∑∞​(sin60∘)2n

b.

Find the smallest positive exact value of θ\thetaθ, in radians, which satisfies the equation

∑n=0∞(tan⁡θ)n=33−3 \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (\tan \theta)^n = \frac{3}{3 - \sqrt{3}} n=0∑∞​(tanθ)n=3−3​3​
