find the sum: (1-square root 2)^0 + (1-square root 2)^1 + (1-square root 2)^2 + ...
The sum of an infinite series is found with the formula:, where S=sum, a=first term, and r=common ratio
In this case, a=1 because anything to the 0 power is 1
r=(1-square root 2)

Some teachers would want you to rationalize the denominator.

Happy Calculating!!!!
