Question Number 193866 by liuxinnan last updated on 21/Jun/23

prove    Σ_(i=1) ^(+∞) (1/n^i )=(1/(n−1))      n∈N^∗   and if n>0∧ n∈R  is it right?

=(a/(1−r))=((1/n)/(1−(1/n)))=(1/(n−1)) (for n>1)  For 0<n<1,(a/(1−r))=(1/(1−n))⇒Assertion is true only  for n>1

Relationship holds true for  ∣r∣=∣(1/n)∣<1 ⇒n<−1 or n>1

I think that is ture when n=1   because Σ_(i=1) ^(+∞) (1/1^i )=Σ_(i=1) ^(+∞) 1=+∞  lim_(n→1) (1/(n−1))=+∞

Limit does not exist for (1/(n−1)) at n=1  lim_(n→1^− )  (1/(n−1))=−∞  lim_(n→1^+ )  (1/(n−1))=+∞  For formula to be considered valid  equality should also hold.  Equality does not for n=1.  (1/(n−1))≠∞
