Let a Rsuch that a 1, and let nЄ N. We're going to derive a formula for
Σoa without needing to prove it by induction. Tip: it can be helpful to use C1+C2+...+Cn
notation instead of summation notation when working this out on scratch paper.
(a) Take a a² and manipulate it until it is in the form Σ.a.
i=0
(b) Using this, calculate the difference between a Σ0 a² and Σ0 a², simplifying away the
summation notation.
i=0
(c) Now that you know what (a – 1) Σ0 a² equals, divide both sides by a − 1 to derive the
formula for
a².
(d) (Optional, just for induction practice) Prove this formula using induction.

Moreover, 40% of B users will switch to A in a given quarter, while the remaining B users will stay with B. Finally assume that this pattern does not vary from quarter to quarter.
