Geometric Sequence And Series Calculator

Geometric Sequence And Series: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers first term. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.

Geometric Sequence And Series Calculator is a planned calculator in the mathematics section of Super Calculator, covering algebra and number theory.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: first term, common ratio, term index n and number of terms.

Outputs: nth term, finite sum, infinite sum where convergent, term list and convergence verdict.

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: nth term a_n = a_1 r^(n-1). Finite sum S_n = a_1(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) for r not equal to one. Infinite sum a_1/(1 - r) exists only for |r| below one, and diverges otherwise.
