SUMMARY
The geometric power series for the function f(x) = 6/(2-x) centered at c=1 is derived by rewriting the function as 6(1/(2-x)). This is transformed into 6(1/(2(1-x/2))), which simplifies to 3(1/(1-x/2)). The resulting series converges for |x/2| < 1, leading to the series expansion 3Σ(x/2)^n for n=0 to ∞.
