sum from n=1 to infinity of (1/3)^n

n = 1 \sum \infty (\frac{1}{3})^{n}

\frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty (\frac{1}{3})^{n}

n = k \sum \infty (a_{n}) = n = 0 \sum \infty (a_{n}) - a_{0} - a_{1} - \dots a_{k - 1}

= n = 0 \sum \infty (\frac{1}{3})^{n} - (\frac{1}{3})^{0}

n = 0 \sum \infty (\frac{1}{3})^{n} = \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} - (\frac{1}{3})^{0}

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} - (\frac{1}{3})^{0} : \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

4 x^{2}, \frac{x}{4}

y = x^{2} + 4, y = - x^{2} - 1, x = - 2, x = 3

30 ln (2 x + 1)

x \to - 3 - lim (ln (x^{2} - 9))

\frac{d}{d x} (- \frac{6}{( 1 - x ) ^{2}})
