make value of s in this formula 27S^4

Hi
S = 2X10^-36
make value of s in this formula 27S^4
the answer : 3.435 X 10 ^-9 but i can't find this answer when i tru solve it
my answer 1.35x10^-4
please I want the help >>

I thought you wanted [math]27 S^4= 2*10^{-36}[/math]. So first divide both sides of the equation by 27: [math]S^4= \frac{2}{27}*10^{-36}[/math] and then take the fourth root: [math]S= \sqrt[4]{\frac{2}{27} 10^{-36/4}[/math]. However, that is NOT "3.435 X 10 ^-9" so apparently I am misunderstanding your question.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
