First term = x
Sum of infinte terms of a G.P. = 5
Hence
If the common ratio is r, then for a sum to infinity -1
and 5=x/(1-r) so r=1- x/5 giving 
-1
0

Sum of infinite series
5 = x/1-r
1-r = x/5
r = 1-x/5
-1
Solve it
0
Hope this time you get the full answer.

Since Sun of infinite GP is x/1-r = 5, where r is a common ratio. Therefore, x=5(1-r) - `a`we know that, -1-r>-1 (multiply by -1)2>1-r>0 (adding 1)10>(1-r)5>0 (multiply by 5 )(from -a)10>x>0 is the required range.
