Find all r for which the infinite geometric series \(2 + 6r + 18r^2 + 54r^3 + \dotsb.\) is defined. Enter all possible values of r, as an interval.
Since we have a geometric series, the possible values of r are in the interval (-1,1).
Are you sure? I entered in that answer and it was wrong.
Since each term is 3r times the preceding term, this will be a geometric series for whatever number you choose for r.
Interval form: (-infinity, infinity).
I entered that in and it didn't work, Can you check again?
Common ratio is 3r For the geometric series to converge, the absolute value of the common ratio has to be less than 1 |Common ratio| < 1 |3r| < 1 -1/3 < r < 1/3 or
(-1/3,1/3)
