Math Problem Statement

Start with the geometric series ∑x^n. Solve the following series: (a) Find the sum of ∑nx^(n-1), |x| < 1. (b) Find the sum of the following series: (i) ∑nx^n, |x| < 1 (ii) ∑n/9^n (c) Find the sum of the following series: (i) ∑n(n-1)x^n, |x| < 1 (ii) ∑(n^2 - n)/2^n (iii) ∑n^2/2^n

Solution

It looks like you've uploaded a mathematical problem involving series. Let's break it down and address the different parts:

Problem Breakdown:

Part (a)

You need to find the sum of the series:
n=1nxn1,x<1.\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n x^{n-1}, \quad |x| < 1.

Part (b)

For this part, we need to find the sum of the following series:

  1. n=1nxn,x<1\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n x^n, \quad |x| < 1
  2. n=1n9n\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n}{9^n}

Part (c)

For part (c), we have three series to find the sums of:

  1. n=2n(n1)xn,x<1\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} n(n-1) x^n, \quad |x| < 1
  2. n=2n2n2n\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n^2 - n}{2^n}
  3. n=2n22n\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n^2}{2^n}
