sum from n=1 to infinity of-1/(8^n)

n = 1 \sum \infty - \frac{1}{8 ^{n}}

- \frac{1}{7}

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty - \frac{1}{8 ^{n}}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

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

= - n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{8 ^{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}{8 ^{n}} - \frac{1}{8 ^{0}})

n = 0 \sum \infty \frac{1}{8 ^{n}} = \frac{8}{7}

= - (\frac{8}{7} - \frac{1}{8 ^{0}})

Simplify

- (\frac{8}{7} - \frac{1}{8 ^{0}}) : - \frac{1}{7}

= - \frac{1}{7}

\int \frac{4 x ^{2} - x + 5}{12 x} d x

\int \frac{x ^{5}}{x ^{2} + 3} d x

\int_{0}^{4} (2 t + 4) d t

10 (4 e^{x^{2}} x^{3} + 6 e^{x^{2}} x)

x \to 0 lim (lo g_{10} (x))
