[hide]Finite Sum
The sum of the first n terms of an is , where is the common difference of and is the common ratio of . Or, , where is the sum of the first terms of .
Proof:
Let represent the sum of the first n terms.
Infinite Sum
The sum of an infinite arithmetico-geometric sequence is , where is the common difference of and is the common ratio of (). Or, , where is the infinite sum of the .
