A geometric sequence whose first term = 256 and whose common ratio is 0.75. Find the smallest number of n for which the sum of the first n terms of the sequence exceeds 1000.
My turn:
$$S_n = \frac{256(1-(0.75)^n)}{1-0.75} > 1000$$
$$n \log{0.75} < \log{\frac{3}{128}}$$
$$n < 13.04 $$ then
$$n = 13$$
What is wrong with my solution because 13 does not satisfy the requires but 14 does ?
