A geometric progression is a sequence of numbers where the previous term is multiplied by a constant to get the next term. 1, 2, 4, 8,... is a geometric sequence where each term is multiplied by 2.
Evaluate
\[ 1 + 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 + \ldots + 2^{ 24 }. \]

A bookshelf has \(6\) shelves. The top shelf has \(2\) books, and each other shelf has \(3\) times as many books as the shelf directly above it. If you want to read a book from the shelves, how many choices do you have?

The series \(a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5, a_6, a_7\) is a geometric progression with \(a_4 = 48\) and \(a_5 = 96\). What is the sum of the these \(7\) terms?
Details and assumptions
A geometric progression is a sequence of numbers, in which each subsequent number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by a common ratio / multiple. For example, \(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, \ldots \) is a geometric progression with initial term 1 and common ratio 2.

Evaluate the sum to infinity:
\[ \frac{ 14 } { 2^0} + \frac{ 14 } { 2^1 } + \frac{ 14 } { 2^2 } + \ldots .\]
