Create a process that will calculate the series 1 + x + x2 + x3 + x4 + xn where x is a floating point number and n is a positive number. you process should be designed so exponentiation (or the pow function in c++) is not needed.

George writes the mixed number as sum and uses the distributive property 1/2.-2/5=1/2-2+2/5=1/2

Exercise: counting committees 0.0/2.0 puntos (calificable) we start with a pool of n people. a chaired committee consists of k≥1 members, out of whom one member is designated as the chairperson. the expression k(nk) can be interpreted as the number of possible chaired committees with k members. this is because we have (nk) choices for the k members, and once the members are chosen, there are then k choices for the chairperson. thus, c=∑k=1nk(nk) is the total number of possible chaired committees of any size. find the value of c (as a function of n ) by thinking about a different way of forming a chaired committee: first choose the chairperson, then choose the other members of the committee. the answer is of the form c=(α+nβ)2γn+δ. what are the values of α , β , γ , and δ ?

Abilliard ball is struck by a cue. it travels 1 0 0 cm 100cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 1 2 0 cm 120cm into a corner pocket. the angle between the path as the ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 4 5 ∘ 45 ∘ . how far is the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball? do not round during your calculations. round your final answer to the nearest centimeter.
