An advanced factoring technique allows you to rewrite the sum of a finite geometric series in a compact formula. An infinite geometric series is more difficult because sometimes it sums to be a number and sometimes the sum keeps on growing to infinity. When does an infinite geometric series sum to be just a number and when does it sum to be infinity?
::高级乘数技术允许您重写压缩公式中限定几何序列的总和。 无限几何序列更为困难, 因为有时它总算为一个数字, 有时它又继续增长到无限。 当一个无限几何序列总和只是一个数字, 什么时候它总和为无限?Geometric Series
::几何序列A geometric series is a sum of numbers whose consecutive terms form a geometric . Recall the advanced factoring technique for the difference of two squares and, more generally, two terms of any power (5 in this case).
::几何序列是数字的总和,其连续条件构成几何。 回顾两个平方之间的差数,更一般地回顾任何权力的两个条件(在本案中为5个)。a 2 − b 2 = ( a − b ) ( a + b ) a 5 − b 5 = ( a − b ) ( a 4 + a 3 b + a 2 b 2 + a b 3 + b 4 ) a n − b n = ( a − b ) ( a n − 1 + ⋯ + b n − 1 )
::a2-b2=(a-b)(a+b)(a+b)a5-b5=(a-b)(a4+a3b+a2b2+a3b3+b4)an-bn=(a-b)(an-1bn-1)If the first term is one then a = 1 . If you replace b with the letter r , you end up with:
::如果第一个任期为一任期,则 a=1. 如果用字母 r 替换b, 以下列方式结束:1 − r n = ( 1 − r ) ( 1 + r + r 2 + ⋯ r n − 1 )
::1-rn=(1-r)(1+r+r+r2__rn-1)You can divide both sides by ( 1 − r ) because r ≠ 1 .
::你可以将两边除以(1-r),因为 r% 1 。1 + r + r 2 + ⋯ r n − 1 = 1 − r n 1 − r
::1+r+r2rn_1=1-rn1-rThe left side of this equation is a geometric series with starting term 1 and common ratio of r . Note that even though the ending exponent of r is n − 1 , there are a total of n terms on the left. To make the starting term not one, just scale both sides of the equation by the first term you want, a 1 .
::此方程的左侧是一个几何序列, 起始任期为 1 , 共同比率为 r 。 请注意, 尽管 r 的结尾指数为 n- 1 , 但左侧总共有 n 条件 。 要使起始任期不是一, 只需在第一个任期前将方程的两边比例都标定为 a1 。a 1 + a 1 r + a 1 r 2 + ⋯ a 1 r n − 1 = a 1 ( 1 − r n 1 − r )
::a1+a1r+a1r2+a1r2}a1rn_1=a1(1-rn1-r)This is the sum of a finite geometric series .
::这是有限的几何序列的总和。To sum an infinite geometric series , you should start by looking carefully at the previous formula for a finite geometric series. As the number of terms get infinitely large ( n → ∞ ) one of two things will happen.
::与无限几何序列相加,您应该从仔细查看一个限定几何序列的先前公式开始。随着条件数量变得无限大,两种条件中的一种就会发生。
a 1 ( 1 − r n 1 − r )
::a( 1 - rn1 - r)Option 1: The term r n will go to infinity or negative infinity. This will happen when | r | ≥ 1 . When this happens, the sum of the infinite geometric series does not go to a specific number and the series is said to be divergent.
::选项1: nn 术语将进入无穷或负无穷。 当 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\可以\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Option 2: The term r n will go to zero. This will happen when | r | < 1 . When this happens, the sum of the infinite geometric series goes to a certain number and the series is said to be convergent .
::选项2: nn 术语将变为零。 当 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\One way to think about these options is think about what happens when you take 0.9 100 and 1.1 100 .
::一种思考这些选项的方法是思考一下,如果采取0.9100和1.1100,会发生什么。0.9 100 ≈ 0.00002656 1.1 100 ≈ 13780
As you can see, even numbers close to one either get very small quickly or very large quickly.
::如你所见,即使数字接近一个数字, 也可能很快变小或变大。The formula for calculating the sum of an infinite geometric series that converges is:
::计算相交的无限几何序列之和的公式是:∞ ∑ i = 1 a 1 ⋅ r i − 1 = a 1 ( 1 1 − r )
::i=1a1-i-1=1a1-1=a1(11-r)Notice how this formula is the same as the finite version but with r n = 0 , just as you reasoned.
::注意这个公式如何与限定版本相同, 但与 rn=0 相同, 正如你所解释的 。A partial sum of an infinite sum is the sum of all the terms up to a certain point. Considering can be useful when analyzing infinite sums.
::无限总和的一部分是直到某一点的所有条件的总和。在分析无限总和时,考虑是有用的。Examples
::实例Example 1
::例1Earlier, you were asked when a infinite geometric series sum to just a number. An infinite geometric series converges if and only if | r | < 1 . Infinite arithmetic series never converge .
::早些时候,有人问您一个无限的几何序列和一个数字是什么时候。一个无限的几何序列如果和只有如果和只有如果\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\无穷的计算序列之间会一致的话,那么无限的几何序列和一个数字是什么时候。一个无限的几何序列如果和只有如果和只有如果\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\无穷的计算序列永远不会一致的话。Example 2
::例2Compute the sum of the following infinite geometric series two ways, without using the infinite summation formula and using the infinite summation formula.
::以两种方式计算以下无限几何序列的和,不使用无限相加公式,也不使用无限相加公式。0.2 + 0.02 + 0.002 + 0.0002 + ⋯
Without using the summation formula:
::不使用总和公式:You can tell just by looking at the sum that the infinite sum will be the repeating decimal 0. ¯ 2 . You may recognize this as the fraction 2 9 , but if you don’t, this is how you turn a repeating decimal into a fraction.
::您可以通过查看总和来分辨出, 无限总和将是重复的小数小数点 0 。 您可以确认这是第29项, 但如果您不这样做, 您就会将重复的小数点转换成一个小数点 。Let x = 0. ¯ 2
::让我们x=0。 $2Then 10 x = 2. ¯ 2
::然后10x2分 10x2分Subtract the two equations and solve for x .
::减去两个方程式并解析 x。10 x − x = 2. ¯ 2 − 0. ¯ 2 9 x = 2 x = 2 9
::10x2 2x2 2x0 29x2x29With using the summation formula:
::使用总和公式:The first term of the sequence is a 1 = 0.2 . The common ratio is 0.1. Since | 0.1 | < 1 , the series does converge.
::序列的第一个条件为 a1=0.2. 。 常见比率为 0.1。 自 0. 1\\\ 1 以来, 该序列的序列的确会趋同 。0.2 ( 1 1 − 0.1 ) = 0.2 0.9 = 2 9
Example 3
::例3Why does an infinite series with r = 1 diverge ?
::为什么有r=1差异的无限序列?If r = 1 this means that the common ratio between the terms in the sequence is 1. This means that each number in the sequence is the same. When you add up an infinite number of any finite numbers (even fractions close to zero) you will always get infinity or negative infinity. The only exception is 0. This case is trivial because a geometric series with an initial value of 0 is simply the following series, which clearly sums to 0:
::如果 r= 1 表示序列中术语的共比为 1 。 这意味着序列中的每个数字都是相同的。 当您将任何有限数字(甚至接近于零的分数)加在一起时, 你总是会得到无限数的无穷或负无穷。 唯一的例外是 0 。 这个案例是微不足道的, 因为初始值为 0 的几何序列仅仅是以下序列, 其数值明显等于 0 :0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ⋯
Example 4
::例4What is the sum of the first 8 terms in the following geometric series?
::以下几何序列中前8个术语的总和是多少?4 + 2 + 1 + 1 2 + ⋯
The first term is 4 and the common ratio is 1 2 .
::第一个学期为4年,共同比率为12年。S U M = a 1 ( 1 − r n 1 − r ) = 4 ( 1 − ( 1 2 ) 8 1 − 1 2 ) = 4 ( 255 256 1 2 ) = 255 32
::SUM=a1(1-rn1-r)=4(1-(12)81-12)=4(25525612)=25532Example 5
::例5You put $100 in a bank account at the end of every year for 10 years. The account earns 6% interest. How much do you have total at the end of 10 years?
::您在10年内每年年底在银行帐户上存入100美元。该帐户赚取6%的利息。在10年结束时,你总共有多少?The first deposit gains 9 years of interest: 100 ⋅ 1.06 9
::首期存款收益 9年利息: 100 1.069The second deposit gains 8 years of interest: 100 ⋅ 1.06 8 . This pattern continues, creating a geometric series. The last term receives no interest at all.
::第二个存款收益是8年的利息:1001.068。这个模式继续,创造了几何序列。最后一个任期完全没有利息。100 ⋅ 1.06 9 + 100 ⋅ 1.06 8 + ⋯ 100 ⋅ 1.06 + 100
Note that normally geometric series are written in the opposite order so you can identify the starting term and the common ratio more easily.
::请注意,通常几何序列以相反的顺序写成,这样可以更容易地识别起始期和共同比率。a 1 = 100 , r = 1.06
::a1=100,r=1.06The sum of the 10 years of deposits is:
::10年的存款总和如下:a 1 ( 1 − r n 1 − r ) = 100 ( 1 − 1.06 10 1 − 1.06 ) ≈ $ 1318.08
::a1(1-rn1-r)=100(1-1-06101-1.06) =1318.08美元Summary -
