Question 21
Consider a function $$f(k)$$ defined for positive integers $$k = 1,2, ..$$ ; the function satisfies the condition $$f(1) + f(2) + .. = \frac{p}{p-1}$$. Where $$p$$ is fraction i.e. $$0 < p < 1$$. Then $$f(k)$$ is given by
Solution
$$\frac{-p}{1-p}$$ can be compared with sum of an infinite G.P. series i.e. $$\frac{a}{1-r}$$ (where a is first term and r is common ratio)
Hence here a=(-p)
and r = p
So kth term will be = $$(-p) (p)^{(k-1)}$$
