1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4 = (1-x^5)/(1-x).
So if 1>x>0, 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4 < 1/(1-x)
if x>1, 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4 >1/(1-x)
if x = 0, 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4 =1/(1-x)
if x <0, 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4 >1/(1-x)?作者: chamcham 时间: 2011-1-20 06:47
If x<0, then 1-x^5>1, but 1-x >0. So (1-x^5)/(1-x) > 1/(1-x)
If x=0, then 1-x^5=1
So when x<1, it is not certain whether 1+X+X^2+X^3+X^4+X^5<1/(1-X)作者: cckjenius 时间: 2011-1-21 21:28
等比数列 Sn=a1(1-q^n)/(1-q)
1+X+X^2+X^3+X^4+X^5=(1-x^6)/(1-x)
So what we need to know is "(1-x^6)/(1-x)<1/(1-X)?"
1.x≠1
2.If x>1, then 1-x<0 , 1-x^6>1, x^6<0, no solution
3.If x<1, then 1-x>0, 1-x^6<1, x^6>0, x<1 and x≠0
As a result, x<1 and x≠0作者: rudder86 时间: 2011-1-22 20:48
