Question

96-48+24...... Find the sum of 10 terms of the series?

Answer 1

The sum is going to be approximately `63.94`, or `1023/16`.

Explanation:

This is a geometric series with common ratio `-1/2`, first term `96`, and `n = 10`.

`s_n = (a(1 - r^n))/(1 - r)`

`s_10 = (96(1 - (-1/2)^10))/(1 - (-1/2))`

`s_10 ~~ 63.94`

Hopefully this helps!
