An arithmetico-geometric series is the sum of consecutive terms in an arithmetico-geometric sequence defined as: , where and are the th terms of arithmetic and geometric sequences, respectively.
Finite Sum
The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetico-geometric sequence is , where is the common difference of and is the common ratio of .
Proof:
Let represent the sum of the first n terms.
