If `x` is positive, the sum to infinity of the series `1/(1+x)-(1-x)/((1+x)^2)+(1-x) ^2/((1+x)^3)-(1-x)^3/((1+x)^4)+ i s` 1/2 (b) 3/4 (c) 1 (d) none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
`1/(1+x)-(1-x)/((1+x)^2)+(1-x) ^2/((1+x)^3)-(1-x)^3/((1+x)^4)+...oo`
Here `a=1/(1+x)` and `r=-(1-x)/(1+-x)`
so,sum of infinite terms is
`S=a/(1-r)`
`s=(1/(1+x))/(1-(-(1-x)/(1+-x)))`
`s=(1/(1+x))/((1+x+1-x)/(1+x))`
