The geometric series that converges from the listed option is [tex]1+\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} ,...[/tex] Option B is correct.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as;
[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]
- a is the first term of the sequence
- r is the common ratio
- n is the number of terms.
For a geometric sequence to converge, the modulus of its common ratio must be less than 1 (|r| < 1), otherwise, it diverges.
For the first series given as [tex]\frac{1}{81} + \frac{1}{27} +\frac{1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}+ ,...[/tex]
[tex]r = \frac{1}{27} \div \frac{1}{81}\\r=\frac{1}{27} \times 81\\r=\frac{81}{27} \\r=3 > 1[/tex]
Since the common ratio of the sequence is greater than 1, hence the series diverges.
For the series [tex]1+\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} ,...[/tex]
[tex]r=\frac{1/2}{1} =\frac{1/4}{1/2} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Since the common ratio of the sequence is less than 1, hence the series converges.
