Homework Statement
Let an (read 'a sub n') be the nth digit after the decimal point in 2pi+2e. Evaluate
SUM (n=1 to inf) an(.1)^n
(here, again, an is meant to be 'a sub n')
Homework Equations
As far as I can see, this is a partial sum of a geometric series. To find the nth partial sum (or, in other words the infinite sum) use a/(1-r) where a is the first term of the series (scalar multiple) and r is the ratio of the exponent of the general form for geo series: ar^n
The Attempt at a Solution
My attempt gave back to sn=1/9
I used: .1/1-.1
I guess I'm thinking about this incorrectly
