So then I have 1+2+3+4+5+(2n-1)+2n
But when I subtract the sum of 2n which is 2(1+...+n)
the second line is 1+2+3+4+5+2n-2(1+...+n), the odd number (2n-1) somehow disappeared and the number I am supposed to add to get zero -2(1+...+n) is still there
I don't understand
Hi, I've enclosed my problem and attempt at solution below. I had problems with the latex so I photographed a picture of my work. The first top half is my attempt at the solution and the bottom is the solution that Spivak provides.
I don't understand how he reached his solution and I don't...
##V=C-\frac{C-S}{L}N##
##LV=LC-C-SN##
##\frac{LV}{C}=L-SN##
##C=\frac {L-SN}{LV}##
but apparently this is wrong...
the book gives ##C=\frac{LV-SN}{L-S}##
##V=C-\frac{C-S}{L}N##
Solve for C
I am extremely frustrated and have made countless attempts at this.
I would really appreciate a step by step on this. Thanks.
