sum from n=1 to infinity of 4(1/4)^n

n = 1 \sum \infty 4 (\frac{1}{4})^{n}

\frac{4}{3}

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty 4 (\frac{1}{4})^{n}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

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

= 4 \cdot n = 1 \sum \infty (\frac{1}{4})^{n}

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

= 4 (n = 0 \sum \infty (\frac{1}{4})^{n} - (\frac{1}{4})^{0})

n = 0 \sum \infty (\frac{1}{4})^{n} = \frac{4}{3}

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{4}{3}

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} (z^{2} + x^{2})

\int e^{- x^{2}} x d x

\frac{d}{d x} (- cos (3 x) 3)

f (x) = a^{2} + cos^{2} (x)

\int e^{y^{2}} y^{3} d y
