Homework Statement
Consider the sequence ak = (3)/(4^(2k)). Show is convergent, find sum. Please check work.
Homework Equations
ak = 3/(4^2k)
let s {n} be the series associated with the sequence. Cannot write summation notation here, but k starts at 1 (k = 1 on bottom) and infinity on top.
The Attempt at a Solution
ak1 = 0.1875
ak2 = 0.01171875
ak3 = 0.000732421876
ak4 = 0.00004577636719
ak4/ak3 = 0.0625
Convergence: 1) r = 0.0625. r < 1, ∴ convergent
Sum: 2) (0.1875)/(1-0.0625) = 0.2. Sum is 0.2
