Q. Find the value of the following expression and round to the nearest integer:n=0∑24200(1.22)nAnswer:
Given series information: We are given a geometric series with the first term a=200 and the common ratio r=1.22. The sum of a finite geometric series can be found using the formula S=(1−r)a(1−rn), where n is the number of terms. In this case, n=25 because we start counting from 0.
Calculate rn: First, we calculate rn, which is 1.2225. This requires a calculator.1.2225≈72.8905
Substitute values into formula: Next, we substitute the values into the sum formula for a geometric series:S=(1−1.22)200(1−1.2225)
Calculate numerator: Now we calculate the numerator of the fraction: 1−1.2225≈1−72.8905≈−71.8905
Calculate denominator: Then we calculate the denominator of the fraction: 1−1.22≈−0.22
Divide numerator by denominator: Now we divide the numerator by the denominator to find the sum S:S≈(−0.22)200(−71.8905)
Perform division: Perform the division to find the sum: S≈200×326.775≈65355
Round to nearest integer: Finally, we round the sum to the nearest integer: 65355 rounds to 65355 since it is already an integer.
