From Vicki:
I am trying to find out how to do show how this proof was worked.
Here is the end result 1 + 3 + 3^2 ...+3^(n-1) = 3^n - 1/2

This equation was used to find the number of white triangles in the Sierpinski Triangle

a large shaded triangle changes each day with a white triangle appearing in the center of each shaded one. If this pattern continues, how many white triangles will be there on the 6th day? On the 6th day, what fraction of the large outer triangle will be white?THANKS!
