Problem: Let a geometric progression with n terms have first term one, common ratio r and sum s, where r and s are not zero. The sum of the geometric progression formed by replacing each term of the original progression by its reciprocal is
Answer Choices:
A. s1β
B. rns1β
C. rnβ1sβ
D. srnβ
E. srnβ1β
Solution:
The sum of the terms in the new progression is
1+r1β+β¦+rnβ11β=rnβ1rnβ1+rnβ2+β¦+1β=rnβ1sβ.
