Question

Given a G.P. with a = 729 and 7th term 64, determine S₇.

Solution

Here a = 729, Let r be the common ratio
$space space straight t subscript 7 space equals space 64 space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space ar to the power of 7 minus 1 end exponent space equals space 64 space rightwards double arrow space 729. space straight r to the power of 6 space equals space 64$
