The sum of the first 3 terms of a geometric series is 171 and the common ratio is 2/3.
What is the first term of the series?
I Don't know what to do- it says I have to use formula?
well then you should know that the sum of the first three terms area+23a+49a=199a=171a=81
ok, thank you, Rom!
I got that answer too, I just forgot to post it...
