Answer:

Diverges

There is no sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric series has a general formula of:

[tex]\sum ar^n[/tex]

Where 'a' is the initial term, 'n' is the number of terms, and 'r' is the constant ratio. If |r| < 1 than the series converges, but if |r| > 1, than the series diverges.

In this problem, the initial term is a = 36, the ratio can be found by:

[tex]r = \frac{39.6}{36}=\frac{43.56}{39.6}\\ r=1.1[/tex]

Since the ratio is r =1.1 and 1.1 > 1.0, the series diverges.

In a diverging series, it is not possible to determine the sum of infinite terms, since it would be infinite.

The geometric series diverges and the sum does not exists.

What is a Geometric Series ?

A geometric series is the sum of an infinite number of terms that have a constant ratio between successive terms .

A geometric series has a general formula of:

∑arⁿ

Where 'a' is the initial term, 'n' is the number of terms, and 'r' is the constant ratio. If |r| < 1 than the series converges.

In this particular case, the initial term is a=36 and each term is multiplied by 1.1 to get the next term

Therefore r = 1.1 and as it is >1 therefore the series diverges.

The sum of a divergent series is not finite so the sum does not exists.
