Answered by maham237 @



Answer: S_{n} = a(\frac{1-r^{n}} {1-r}) when r\leq1

and S_{n} =a(\frac{r^{n}-1} {r-1}) when r\geq1

Explanation:

where a is first term of geometric series

r = common ratio of geometric series

n= number of terms of geometric series

In the given series a=\frac{1}{2}

r=\frac{2}{3}

n=5

So, substituting the values in the equation for r\leq1

you will get the required result
