Evaluate $\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {\left( {2 + {3^k}} \right)} $
$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {\left( {2 + {3^k}} \right) = } \sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {\left( 2 \right) + } \sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {\left( {{3^k}} \right) = 22 + } \sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {{3^k}} $ .........$(1)$
$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {{3^k} = {3^1} + {3^2} + {3^3} + ........ + {3^{11}}} $
The terms of this sequence $3,3^{2}, 3^{3} \ldots \ldots$ forms a $G.P.$
$S_{n}=\frac{a\left(r^{n}-1\right)}{r-1}$
$\Rightarrow S_{n}=\frac{3\left[(3)^{11}-1\right]}{3-1}$
$\Rightarrow S_{n}=\frac{3}{2}\left(3^{11}-1\right)$
$\therefore \sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {{3^k}} = \frac{3}{2}\left( {{3^{11}} - 1} \right)$
Substituting this value in equation $(1),$ we obtain
$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{11} {\left( {2 + {3^k}} \right) = 22 + \frac{3}{2}\left( {{3^{11}} - 1} \right)} $
The sum of first two terms of a $G.P.$ is $1$ and every term of this series is twice of its previous term, then the first term will be
$0.14189189189….$ can be expressed as a rational number
If ${G_1}$ and ${G_2}$ are two geometric means and $A$ the arithmetic mean inserted between two numbers, then the value of $\frac{{G_1^2}}{{{G_2}}} + \frac{{G_2^2}}{{{G_1}}}$is
Find the $20^{\text {th }}$ and $n^{\text {th }}$ terms of the $G.P.$ $\frac{5}{2}, \frac{5}{4}, \frac{5}{8}, \ldots$
A $G.P.$ consists of an even number of terms. If the sum of all the terms is $5$ times the sum of the terms occupying odd places, then the common ratio will be equal to
