To find ( S_n ) for the geometric series with ( a_1 = 4 ), ( r = 0.5 ), and ( n = 8 ), you use the formula:
[ S_n = a_1 \frac{{1 - r^n}}{{1 - r}} ]
Substitute the given values:
[ S_8 = 4 \frac{{1 - 0.5^8}}{{1 - 0.5}} ]
[ S_8 = 4 \frac{{1 - 0.00390625}}{{1 - 0.5}} ]
[ S_8 = 4 \frac{{0.99609375}}{{0.5}} ]
[ S_8 = 4 \times 1.9921875 ]
[ S_8 = 7.96875 ]
So, ( S_8 = 7.96875 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
