Hi friends,

 

Top of Sigma is P, bottom is K=1. Expression is \(10(3)^{k-1}\)

 

Determine maximum value of P for which the above will be <2300.

 

I calculated: T1=10, T2=30, T3=90, r=3

 

I thought to calculate the sum, determining P for the condition that the above is equal to 2300, and go from there.

 

So I said: \(Sn={a(r^n-1)} \over n-1\)

 

Substituting all info, I later get:

 

\(230n-229=3^n\)

 

From here I'm stuck

 

Please would someone assist me with this. Thank you kindly..
