Try rewriting the numerator as (x-1) + (x^2-1) + ... + (x^n - 1).
i tried but i only reemplace X?
i cant add -1 unless i add +1 :S because u cant add numbers like that or not?
There is a -n at the end, you are just splitting that into n -1s.
take (x-1) out as common in numerator and cancel from denominator

i can do that? i mean i tried but my friend said that i cant do that
of course you can
\[ \frac {x^k - 1} {x-1} = (1 + x + ... + x^{k-1} ) \]
\[(x-1)/(x-1)+(x^2-1)/(x-1)+(x^3-1)/(x-1)+...+(x^n-1)/(x-1)\] Then apply the limit...
x^k?? shouldn't that be x? so i can cancel it?
