Q:

The population of a type of local frog can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1 = 84 and the common ratio is one fifth. Find the sum of this infinite series that will be the upper limit of this population.

Accepted Solution

A:
The series is 84(1+1/5+1/25+...)=84(1/(1-1/5)=84Γ·4/5=84Γ—5/4=21Γ—5=105. Upper limit is 105.
