Question
6. Suppose that 2 = 1, 2, 3, ... and that P(k) = p(1 - p)k-¹, ken. Let A be the odd numbers in Ω. (a) Compute P(A). (b) Compute ΣP(k).x². k=1 (c) For what values of x is the previous sum finite? (d) If you managed to get a closed form expression for the sum in part (b), you have an identity. Differentiate both sides to obtain a different identity.
