Problems Plus 5: Infinite Sum of Vector Projections is a Geometric Series
In this video I find the sum of an infinite series of consecutive magnitudes of vector projections and show it turns out to be just a geometric series. I first calculate the magnitudes for the first few vector projections and realize it follows a distinct pattern. This allows us to write the sum as a geometric series, thus we can just use the formula for the sum of a convergent geometric series. At the end of the video I also go over a quick recap and visual illustration of the geometric series.
