⚠️ Retired — specification defect

The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its Disproved status carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.

What is the sum of the infinite geometric series $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{128}+...$?

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem lean_workbook_plus_22376 (a : ℝ) (h : a = 1 / 2) : ∑' i : ℕ, a ^ i = 2 / 3   :=  by sorry

Use the series∑i:ℕ,(1/2:ℝ)*(1/4:ℝ)^i=2/3, with initial term1/2 and ratio1/4.

The recorded counterexample refutes the statement as encoded. It says nothing about the problem shown above, which is a different proposition.

Proposed corrected statement

Use the series∑i:ℕ,(1/2:ℝ)*(1/4:ℝ)^i=2/3, with initial term1/2 and ratio1/4.

Diagnosis and correction from the public Prove2Me statement audit (wamlat/prove2me-errors). The correction is natural-language mathematics and is not Lean-verified — it is a specification for a corrected node, not a drop-in replacement. No corrected replacement node exists yet.
