sum from n=1 to infinity of 3(5)^{-n}

n = 1 \sum \infty 3 (5)^{- n}

\frac{3}{4}

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty 3 \cdot 5^{- n}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

\sum c \cdot a_{n} = c \cdot \sum a_{n}

= 3 \cdot n = 1 \sum \infty 5^{- n}

Simplify

5^{- n} : \frac{1}{5 ^{n}}

= 3 \cdot n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{5 ^{n}}

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

= 3 (n = 0 \sum \infty \frac{1}{5 ^{n}} - \frac{1}{5 ^{0}})

n = 0 \sum \infty \frac{1}{5 ^{n}} = \frac{5}{4}

= 3 (\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{5 ^{0}})

Simplify

3 (\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{5 ^{0}}) : \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{3}{4}

x \to 0 lim (9 x - 8 x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}} arcsin (2 x) d x

(0, 0), (4, 5)

\frac{x ^{6} - x ^{2} + 4}{7 x ^{5}}

\frac{d y}{d x} = - 2 x y^{2}, y (1) = \frac{1}{4}
