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}

\int tan (5 θ) d θ

\int (\frac{3}{2})^{x} d x

\frac{d}{d x} (3 x^{7} - 7 x^{3} + 21 x^{2})

\int 9 sec^{4} (x) d x

\frac{d}{d x} (5 x^{4} - 3 x^{2} + \frac{1}{x} - 7)
