Q. Find the value of the following expression and round to the nearest integer:n=0∑3140(1.02)nAnswer:
Given series information: We are given a geometric series with the first term a=40 and common ratio r=1.02. The sum of a finite geometric series is given by the formula Sn=(1−r)a(1−rn), where n is the number of terms. In this case, we want to find the sum from n=0 to n=31, which means there are 32 terms.
Calculate sum formula: First, we calculate the sum using the formula for the sum of a geometric series. We have a=40, r=1.02, and n=32 terms.S32=(1−1.02)40(1−1.0232)
Calculate 1.0232: Now we calculate 1.0232 using a calculator.1.0232≈2.0398873
Substitute into formula: Substitute the value of 1.0232 into the sum formula.S32=40(1−2.0398873)/(1−1.02)
Calculate numerator and denominator: Calculate the numerator and denominator separately.Numerator: 40(1−2.0398873)≈40(−1.0398873)≈−41.59549Denominator: 1−1.02=−0.02
Divide numerator by denominator: Now we divide the numerator by the denominator to find the sum.S32=−0.02−41.59549≈2079.7745
Round to nearest integer: Finally, we round the sum to the nearest integer. S32≈2080
