1) 6 + 24 + 96 + ...a = 6
r = 24 / 6 = 4
Sn = a (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)
S6 = 6.(1 - 4^6) / (1 - 4)
= 6 (-4095) / (-3)
= 8.190
2) 2 + (-6) + 18 + (-54) + ...
a = 2
r = -3
S8 = 2.(1 - (-3)^8) / (1 - (-3)
= 2. (1 - 6561} / (1 + 3)
= -3.280
3) 1/4 + 1/2 + 1 + 2 + ..... + 64
a = 1/4
r = 2
Un = a. r^(n-1)
64 = 1/4 . 2^(n-1)
2^(n-1) = 64 : 1/4
= 64 . 4 = 256
= 2^8
n - 1 = 8
n = 9
S9 = 1/4. (1 - 2^9) / (1 - 2)
= 1/4. (-511) / (-1)
= 127 3/4
