f****n 发帖数: 208 | 1 I am so rusty with the college math. Here is the question:
f(n) = 1*2^0 + 2*2^1 + 3*2^2 + ... + n * 2^(n-1)
What is f(n)? Please help. |
Q***5 发帖数: 994 | 2 Consider g(x) = x^1+x^2+ ... x^n, you can derive the explicit
formula of g(x) = (x^(n+1)-1)/(x-1)
Then your f(n) = g'(2), the derivative of g at 2.

me.
