Answer:

[tex]\frac{463}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric series is:

243-162+108.....+64/3

The first term is [tex]a=243[/tex].

The common ratio is:

[tex]r=\frac{-162}{243}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The sequence is finite, so we can generate all the terms by repeatedly multiplying by the common ratio until we get to the last term.

The complete series is

243-162+108-72+48-32+64/3

The sum is:

[tex]243+108+48+64/3-162-72-32=\frac{463}{3}[/tex]
