0.151515...=15/99 2008-09-08
From Emma:
This week, my Algebra teacher told us about the pattern between infinitely repeating decimals and their corresponding fractions. (ex. .2222222...= 2/9, .151515...=15/99, 456456456...=456/999, etc.) I was just wondering the reason why this pattern occurs. Is there a certain element that causes this pattern to occur?
Thanks
-Emma

From Alan:
hello, I am a junior in precalculus. we started working on geometric sequences today, it makes perfect sense on how it works. but why is it called that? if you could send me an answer to why geometric sequences have that name, I would be much appreciative.

what are the equations for geometric and arithmetic sequences?

also, what are the equations for finding the sums of those series?
