Homework Statement


Find all the values for which the series (where n=1 to infinity) [tex]\sum((2x-3)/5)^n[/tex] converges. For these values of x, write the sum of the series as a function of x in simplified form.

Please Please help!

this is just a geometric series. remember [tex]\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} y^n[/tex] coverges iff |y|<1.
