pls answer my question I have written the formula

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

\[\sum_{r=1}^{\inf}(2r-1)(9/11)^{r}\]

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

@hartnn I have converted 9/11^r to 9/2 But how to convert (2r-1)

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

@wio pls help

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

@hartnn pls help

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

@ParthKohli pls help

Parth (parthkohli):

Isn't this an arithmetic-geometric series?

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

yes

Parth (parthkohli):

Then apply the formula...?

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

i have converted 9/11^r to 9/2 then what to do

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

\[\sum_{1}^{\infty}(2r-1)(\frac{ 9 }{ 11 })^r=\\2 \sum_{1}^{\infty}(r)(\frac{ 9 }{ 11 })^r-\sum_{1}^{\infty}(-1)(\frac{ 9 }{ 11 })^r=\]

Parth (parthkohli):

^ can you do it now? :)

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

no I didn't got what @amoodarya is trying to explain

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

@amoodarya can u writ in equation

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

pls

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

second is easy geometric for the first look this \[x=\frac{ 9 }{ 11 }\\ \sum_{1}^{\infty}r x^r =s=1x+2x^2+3x^3+4x^4+....\\a=1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+...=\frac{ 1 }{ 1-x }\\a'=1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+...=(\frac{ 1 }{ 1-x })'=\frac{ 1 }{ (1-x)^2 }\\x a' =x+2x^2+3x^3+... =\frac{ x }{ (1-x)^2 }\]

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

now @ the end put x=9/11

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

ok

OpenStudy (amoodarya):

\[2 \sum_{1}^{\infty}rx^r + \sum_{1}^{\infty}x^r=\\2 (\frac{ x }{ (1-x)^2 })+(x+x^2+x^3+...)\\2 (\frac{ x }{ (1-x)^2 })+(\frac{ x }{ 1-x })\\x=\frac{ 9 }{ 11 }\]

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

@paki ammodarya has written \[\sum_{r=1}^{\infty}(2r-1)(9/11)^r=\]

OpenStudy (kanwal32):

got it thnx for ur support @paki @ParthKohli @amoodarya
