Re: a challenging problem for allIf you meant an expression for the closed form then it is obviously not possible. The sum will either equal a constant or infinity. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on. #27 2012-07-23 03:47:03
Re: a challenging problem for allIt is possible. The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't. “It's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!” ― Richard Feynman “A secret's worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón #28 2012-07-23 03:49:48
Re: a challenging problem for allWith a variable as the upper index yes. But with an infinity up there the sum is either a constant like 1 / 2 ( just picked as an example ) or ∞.

Re: a challenging problem for allIt can be an expression in terms of x.

Re: a challenging problem for allYes, it could. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on. #31 2012-08-15 23:05:45

Re: a challenging problem for allHi rajinikanth0602; By the ratio test: By the ratio test the series diverges for all values of x. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: a challenging problem for allHi;
In exchange for the rupees I would like your acknowledgement that the problem has been solved with the proof that is in post#32, or do you require more? In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on. #35 2012-09-02 21:05:52
