OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

atleast 4 terms

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

and general term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[{-2\over1-{x\over2}}={-4\over(2-x)}=-4(2-x)^{-1}=-4(.....)\] use the binomial expansion there

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

excatly i did this i took 4 derivatives at x=0

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

am i right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or \[-2\left(1-{x\over2}\right)^{-1}=-2\sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(x\over2\right)^k\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

alright thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you must have "x" terms you cannot get rid of them by substituting x=0

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

so @electrokid a=-2 and r=1/2 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r = {x/2}
