The series is convergent and is equal to 1.

Partial Fraction Decomposition

Calculus

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$ Limit Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} [f(x) \pm g(x)] = \lim_{x \to c} f(x) \pm \lim_{x \to c} g(x)$

Series

Definition of a convergent/divergent seriesSum of a series: $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} S_n$

Telescoping Series: $\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} (b_1 - b_{k + 1}) = (b_1 - b_2) + (b_2 - b_3) + (b_3 - b_4) + ... + (b_1 - b_{k + 1}) + ...$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2}$

Step 2: Rewrite Sum

Factor: $\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \frac{2k + 1}{k \cdot k(k + 1)(k + 1)}$ Break up [Partial Fraction Decomposition]: $\displaystyle \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = \frac{A}{k} + \frac{B}{k^2} + \frac{C}{k + 1} + \frac{D}{(k + 1)^2}$ Simplify [Common Denominator]: $\displaystyle 2k + 1 = Ak(k + 1)^2 + B(k + 1)^2 + Ck^2(k + 1) + Dk^2$ [Decomp] Expand: $\displaystyle 2k + 1 = Ak^3 + Ck^3 + A2k^2 + Bl^2 + Ck^2 + Dk^2 + Ak + B2k + B$ [Decomp] Factor: $\displaystyle 2k + 1 = k^3(A + C) + k^2(2A + B + C + D) + k(A + 2B) + B$ [Decomp] Set up systems: $\displaystyle \begin{cases} A + C = 0 \\ 2A + B + C + D = 0 \\ A + 2B = 2 \\ B = 1 \end{cases}$ [Decomp] Solve: $\displaystyle A = 0, \ B = 1, \ C = 0, \ D = -1$ [Decomp] Substitute in variables: $\displaystyle \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = \frac{0}{k} + \frac{1}{k^2} + \frac{0}{k + 1} + \frac{-1}{(k + 1)^2}$ [Decomp] Simplify: $\displaystyle \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = \frac{1}{k^2} - \frac{1}{(k + 1)^2}$ Substitute in decomp [Sum]: $\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \bigg( \frac{1}{k^2} - \frac{1}{(k + 1)^2} \bigg)$

Step 3: Find Sum

Find Sₙ terms: $\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \bigg( \frac{1}{k^2} - \frac{1}{(k + 1)^2} \bigg) = \bigg( 1 - \frac{1}{4} \bigg) + \bigg( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9} \bigg) + \bigg( \frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16} \bigg) + ... + \bigg( \frac{1}{k^2} - \frac{1}{(k + 1)^2} \bigg) + ...$ Find general Sₙ formula: $\displaystyle S_n = 1 - \frac{1}{(k + 1)^2}$ Sum of a series: $\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \bigg( 1 - \frac{1}{(k + 1)^2} \bigg)$ Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = 1 - 0$ Simplify: $\displaystyle \sum^\infty_{k = 1} \frac{2k + 1}{k^2(k + 1)^2} = 1$

∴ the sum converges to 1 by the Telescoping Series.

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event aâ†µect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?
