Exercise 2: Variables and arrays (continued)
- Geometric series
The sum of a geometric series 1 +r+r^2 +r^3 +...+rnapproaches the
limit 1 −^1 rforr < 1asn→∞. Taker=0.5and compute sums of series
0 to 10, 0 to 50, and 0 to 100. Calculate the aforementioned limit and
compare with your summations. Do the summation using the built-in
sumfunction.
