sum from n=1 to infinity of (n-2)/(n2^n)

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{n - 2}{n 2 ^{n}}

converges

Solution steps

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

Expand

\frac{n - 2}{n \cdot 2 ^{n}} : \frac{1}{2 ^{n}} - \frac{2 ^{1 - n}}{n}

= n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{2 ^{n}} - \frac{2 ^{1 - n}}{n}

Apply the Sum Rule:

\sum a_{n} + b_{n} = \sum a_{n} + \sum b_{n}

= n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{2 ^{n}} - n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{2 ^{1 - n}}{n}

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{2 ^{n}} = 1

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{2 ^{1 - n}}{n} =

converges

= 1 - converges

= converges

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{4 ^{n}} \cdot 2^{n}

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{4}{2 ^{n + 2}}

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{n !}{11 2 ^{n}}

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{3}{n ^{\frac{5}{2}}}

k = 1 \sum \infty k^{2} e^{- k}
