Explanation:
Given, the series is 10 9×2/3 9×1/3 9. We need to find the number of terms in the series that will amount to 155.
Formula:
The formula to calculate the sum of a geometric sequence is:
Sn = a(1 - rn) / (1 - r)
Where,
Sn is the sum of the first n terms
a is the first term
r is the common ratio
n is the number of terms
Solution:
Let's first find the common ratio of the series. We can see that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2/3. Therefore, the common ratio is 2/3.
Now, let's apply the formula to find the sum of the series. We have:
Sn = a(1 - rn) / (1 - r)
Here, a = 10 and r = 2/3. We need to find the value of n that will make Sn = 155.
Substituting the values in the formula, we get:
155 = 10(1 - (2/3)n) / (1 - 2/3)
155(1 - 2/3) = 10(1 - (2/3)n)
93 = 10(1 - (2/3)n)
(2/3)n = 1 - 93/10
(2/3)n = -83/10
As the right-hand side is negative, we can conclude that there is no value of n that will make Sn = 155. Therefore, the answer is that there is no such number of terms that will amount to 155.
