sum from n=2 to infinity of 5/(6^n)

n = 2 \sum \infty \frac{5}{6 ^{n}}

\frac{1}{6}

Solution steps

n = 2 \sum \infty \frac{5}{6 ^{n}}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

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

= 5 \cdot n = 2 \sum \infty \frac{1}{6 ^{n}}

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

= 5 (n = 0 \sum \infty \frac{1}{6 ^{n}} - \frac{1}{6 ^{0}} - \frac{1}{6 ^{1}})

n = 0 \sum \infty \frac{1}{6 ^{n}} = \frac{6}{5}

= 5 (\frac{6}{5} - \frac{1}{6 ^{0}} - \frac{1}{6 ^{1}})

Simplify

5 (\frac{6}{5} - \frac{1}{6 ^{0}} - \frac{1}{6 ^{1}}) : \frac{1}{6}

= \frac{1}{6}

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

(x + y) y^{^{'}} = 1

x \to 3 lim (+ (x - 3))

e \cdot 3^{x}

\int_{1}^{3} (x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + x + 3) d x
