| Geometric Progression |
21. For geometric progression, find 1 + 1/sqrt(2) + 1/2 + 1/(2*sqrt(2)) + ... 10 terms ( For geometric progression, find 1 + 1/sqrt(x) + 1/x + 1/(x*sqrt(x)) + ... n terms where x = 2 and n = 10 . )
Here a = 1, r = 1 / sqrt(2), n = 10
We know that, S_n = a * (1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
:. S_10 = 1 × (1 - (1 / sqrt(2))^10) / (1 - 1 / sqrt(2))
= 1 × (1 - (1 / 2)^5) / ((sqrt(2) - 1) / sqrt(2))
= sqrt(2) × 1 × (1 - 1 / 32) / (sqrt(2) - 1)
= sqrt(2) × 1 × ((32 - 1) / 32) / (sqrt(2) - 1) × (sqrt(2) + 1) / (sqrt(2) + 1)
= sqrt(2) × 1 × (31/32) / (2 - 1) × (sqrt(2) + 1)
= (31/32) × sqrt(2) × (sqrt(2) + 1)
= (31/32) × (2 + sqrt(2))
