    This document discusses how to find the sum of an infinite geometric series. It explains that the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series is the first term divided by 1 minus the common ratio. It provides examples of using the formula to find the sum to infinity of a geometric series and to find the first term when given the sum to infinity and the sum of the first few terms.
