.
Use the formula for the sum of a geometric progression.
If , , , . . . , is the geometric progression with the first term " a ", the common ratio " r ", and the number of terms " n "
then the sum of its first n terms is
= = .
Or, which is the same
= .
Substitute the given data into the formula and calculate.
