Finding The Sum of a Finite Geometric Series

This calculus video tutorial explains how to find the sum of a finite geometric series using a simple formula. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems including example problems in the form of a geometric sequence of partial sums and in the form of sigma notation or summation notation. The finite sum of a sequence is known as the partial sum of a sequence.

    A lot of teachers forget what it is that other people find confusing in the beginning, since they are so used to working with it everyday. Also, a lot of math teachers are obsessed with proofs, and forget to build up some bare minimum level of intuition and "feel" for things.

    When I learn formulas I spend a good few minutes working out *why* the formula functions to solve the problem. Now using it like written calculator, but really trying to recognise the reason it works. I cannot for the life of me work out *why* this equation works -- just that it does.

    Hey hope you are doing alright just I wanna say that GOD loved the world so much he sent his only begotten son Jesus to die a brutal death for us so that we can have eternal life and we can all accept this amazing gift this by simply trusting in Jesus, confessing that GOD raised him from the dead, turning away from your sins and forming a relationship with GOD.
