Find the sum of the first 12 terms of the sequence 512, 256, 128, …

1023.75 (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is a Geometric progression with the common ratio of ¹/₂ and first term of 512.

a = 512, r = ¹/₂. To determine the ratio, just divide the second term by the first term.

Now to calculate the sum, we consider two formula here and select the one that is most appropriate,

(1)  a( rⁿ - 1 )/r - 1, when r is greater than 1

(2) a( 1 - rⁿ )/1 - rⁿ, when r is less than 1.

In this question, formula 2 shall be appropriate because r is less than 1.

so,

S₁₂      =  512( 1 - 0.5¹² )/1 - 0.5

             512( 1 - 2.44 ₓ 10⁻⁴ )/0.5

          = 512( 0,9998 )/0.5

          = 511.875/0.5

          = 1023.75

The answer is a
