Question 1178483: Find the sum of the infinite geometric series, if possible. (If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE.)
16 + 14 + 49/4+ 343/32 + ⋯ Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ratio is 7/8
sum is Sn=a/(1-r)
=16/(1/8)
=128
check with a high power of r such as r^100
a(r^20-1))/(r-1)
=127.9997
