You are walking in a strange cave and you have no idea where you are or how you got here. As you are walking, you come across some tiles on the floor. They read "AHOY DYE FOOT." Strange.

You pass a second group of tiles which doesn't make much sense. The third pile says "LUG TUNA BLUBBER". You wonder where you would find tuna blubber in this cave, and where you should lug it to.

At that point, you look further down the cave and see that there are many groups of tiles.

How many groups of tiles are there?

at this point the only thing is that there is a pattern with the letters but i can not find it.

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...
