8. Sequences and Series
easy
If $s$ is the sum of an infinite $G.P.$, the first term $a$ then the common ratio $r$ given by
A
$\frac{{a - s}}{s}$
B
$\frac{{s - a}}{s}$
C
$\frac{a}{{1 - s}}$
D
$\frac{{s - a}}{a}$
Solution
(b) $s = \frac{a}{{1 – r}}$
==> $s – sr = a$
==> $ – sr = a – s$
==> $r = \frac{{s – a}}{s}$.
