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

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

\frac{1}{3}

Solution steps

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}

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

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

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{1}{3}

f (x) = x^{4} + 5 x

\frac{d}{d x} (ln (1 + x) - x)

\int 8 w e^{7 w} d w

\int \frac{8 - 128 x}{1 - 64 x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2} - 4} d x
