We know that 1+x+x2+x3+x4+... is convergent only when -1 <x<1. And 1+x+x2+x3+x4+...=1/(1-x)
Also we know that removing few terms from the series or multiplying them by a constant does not change the nature of the series
Hence the series 8x+8x2+8x3+8x4+...=8(x+x2+x3+x4+...) will be convergent only when -1< x<1.
The sum is given by 8(x+x2+x3+x4+...)=8(-1+1+x+x2+x3+x4+...)=8(-1+1/(1-x))=8x/(1-x)
Here let t=1/(1+x). The given series can be expressed as 1+t+t2+t3+t4+...which will converge only when -1 <t<1 ie.,
