Forklaring
a = 2
r = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
S = \(\frac{a}{1-r}\)
S = \(\frac{2}{1-\frac{3}{4}}\)
= \(\frac{2}{\frac{1}{4}}\)
S = \(\frac{2}{1}\times \frac{4}{1}\)
= 8.
r = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
S = \(\frac{a}{1-r}\)
S = \(\frac{2}{1-\frac{3}{4}}\)
= \(\frac{2}{\frac{1}{4}}\)
S = \(\frac{2}{1}\times \frac{4}{1}\)
= 8.
