Here's the series: I took what I was given into the \(S_n = {a(1 - r^{n}) \over 1 - r}\) formula where:

 

\({S_n}\) is the sum of \({n}\) number of terms

\({a}\) is the first term

\({r}\) is the common ratio

 

Here's my work:But I didn't get the answer, which is

I'm confused as to what did I do wrong?

Sum =6 x [1 - 3/2] / [1 - 3/2]

Sum =6 x [1 - 59,049 /1024] / [ - 1/2]

Sum =6 x [-58,025 /1,024] / [-1/2]

Sum =6 x [-58,015/1,024 x -2/1]

Sum =6 x [116,050/1,024]

Sum = 696,300 / 1,024       divide both sides by 4

Sum = 174,075 / 256
