SOLUTION

The given series is

[tex]250+200+160+128+\cdots[/tex]

Notice that the series is a geometric series with common ratio as:

[tex]r=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

The sum to infinity is:

[tex]S_{\infty}=\frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]

Notice that the first term is a=250

Hence the sum to infinity is

[tex]\begin{gathered} S_{\infty}=\frac{250}{1-\frac{4}{5}} \\ S_{\infty}=1250 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the sum is 1250

Hence the it converges
