[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers finding the sum of a geometric series using the formula and the calculator.

Learn what a geometric sequence is and how to perform several related tasks: find the nth term, write the formula for the nth term, and calculate a finite geometric series. This tutorial offers definitions, example problems with...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers identifying infinite geometric series for which a sum can be determined, and finding the sum.

In this activity, students learn to identify geometric series. They determine if a sequence converges and also learn to calculate the sum of numbers in a geometric series.

This task, commentary, and solutions, were authored by Lacey Dixon and Jonathan Utegaard of The University of Arizona. The purpose of this task is to have students derive the formula for the sum of a specific finite geometric series....

This task presents a real world application, prescribing a course of antibiotics. In this task, a finite geometric series is utilized. Aligns with A-SSE.B.4.

Learners will be able to make use of structure on their way to deriving a formula for the sum of a geometric series. They will also gain more experience in finding the nth term of a sequence/series. Includes short video. [1:15]

This tasks requires students to explore properties of the Cantor Set, which has many uncountable points, no intervals of real numbers, and has length of zero. Aligns with A-SSE.B.4.
