Find the sum of the base-2 geometric series
0.120.012+0.00120.00012+0.000012;
give your answer as a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are both expressed in base 10.

 

0.12=121=120.012=122=140.0012=123=180.00012=124=1160.000012=125=132

 

Infinite Geometric Series:

s=1214+18116+132±|a=12, r=12s=a1r||r|<1.s=121(12)s=121+12s=1232s=1223s=13

why did you switch it to an alternating series?

Hello Rom,

 

i switch it to an alternating series, because the question is: 0.1-  0.012 + 0.0012 - 0.00012 + 0.000012 +- ...

and the answer is a fraction.

 

r=1412=12r=1814=12
