Hi there!

Let's start by laying out an equation and replacing "a number" with the letter "X" just to make everything clearer :

6 subtracted from 5 times X = 9

(5 × X) - 6 = 9

Now all you have to do left is solve the equation by isolating "X" :

(5 × X) - 6 = 9

Add 6 on each side of the equation

5 × X = 9

Divide each side of the equation by 5

X = 1.8

Your answer is : 6 subtracted from 5 times 1.8 is equal to 9.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

(a) Starting with the geometric series [infinity] xn n = 0 , find the sum of the series [infinity] nxn − 1 n = 1 , |x| < 1.

Mila [183]

Let <em>f(x)</em> be the sum of the geometric series,

$f(x)=\displaystyle\frac1{1-x} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n$

for |<em>x</em>| < 1. Then taking the derivative gives the desired sum,

$f'(x)=\displaystyle\boxed{\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$
