Consider rSn = ar + ar2 + ar3 + ⋯arn + 1. Now Sn − rSn = a − arn + 1 Sn(1 − r) = a − arn + 1. For r ≠ 1 Sn = a − arn + 1 1 − r. Now Sn is the n -th partial sum of your serie, for find the sum is sufficient take limn → ∞Sn and if it exists to a number s we say that the sum of the serie is s. But what can you say about.

When I look on Wolfram Alpha it says that the partial sum formula for ∑ni = 1i ⋅ xi is: n ∑ i = 1i ⋅ xi = (nx − n − 1)xn + 1 + x (1 − x)2. On this question, an answer said that the general formula for the sum of a finite geometric series is: n − 1 ∑ k = 0xk = 1 − xn 1 − x. But if I substitute my (i ⋅ xi) into the formula ...
Solve for the n th partial sum: s n (1 − r) = a (1 − r n) s n = a (1 − r n) (1 − r) The steps for finding the n th partial sum are: Step 1: Identify a and r in the geometric series. Step 2 ...
1. Here is a different approach (using the Tail-Sum formula) to find the expected value of a random variable X ∼ Geom(p). E[X] = ∞ ∑ k = 1P(X ≥ k) = ∞ ∑ k = 1(1 − p)k − 1 = ∞ ∑ k = 0(1 − p)k = 1 1 − (1 − p) = 1 p. This is a really nice proof.
The Sum of a Geometric Series Review. A geometric series is an infinite sum where the ratios of successive terms are equal to the same constant, called a ratio.; If the ratio is between negative ...
Since geometric series with quotient q is defined also for the divergent case (except for q=1) we might discard the condition $ \varrho(A) \lt 1 $ and replace it with something like : A cannot have at the same time a value x and its reciprocal as eigenvalues
The proof first shows that. Sk(I − A) = I −Ak+1 S k (I − A) = I − A k + 1. and similarly. (I − A)Sk = I −Ak+1 (I − A) S k = I − A k + 1. where Sk S k is the sum of the first k k terms in the series. Then it shows that. |Ak+1| ≤|A|k+1 | A k + 1 | ≤ | A | k + 1. and according to the proof in the book, it can be said from this ...
