Your Input

Find $$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 3^{- n}$$$.

Solution

$$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 3^{- n}$$$ is an infinite geometric series with the first term $$$b=\frac{1}{3}$$$ and the common ratio $$$q=\frac{1}{3}$$$.

By the ratio test, it is convergent.

Its sum is $$$S=\frac{b}{1-q}=\frac{1}{2}$$$.

Therefore,

$${\color{red}{\left(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 3^{- n}\right)}}={\color{red}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}}$$

Hence,

$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 3^{- n}=\frac{1}{2}$$

Answer

$$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 3^{- n} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$$A
