|
Given is the arithmetic-geometric sequence u(k) = (900-3k)rk-1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let s(n) = Σk=1...nu(k).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Find the value of r for which s(5000) = -600,000,000,000.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Give your answer rounded to 12 places behind the decimal point.

`euler235()` should return 1.002322108633.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.strictEqual(euler235(), 1.002322108633);
|
||
|
|
```
