Just two questions:That's an infinite geometric series with first term a1=1 and common ratio = . The formula is ----- Multiply through by LCD = 4y Both side contain -4y so we add 4y to both sides and they will cancel: Get all three terms containing y on the left side, and the term that does not contain y on the right: factor out y on the left side: Divide both sides by (4c-4e-f) Edwin
