Original question and givens

Use a_n=(7/8)^n for every n≥0 and evaluation x=1/2. Give (coefficient_law, x, ratio_times_x, analytic_value, domain_certificate, certificate).

  • G001 — Use a_n=(7/8)^n for every n≥0 and evaluation x=1/2. Give (coefficient_law, x, ratio_times_x, analytic_value, domain_certificate, certificate).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [ogf-geometric-closed-form]

After

derived = [[coefficient_law, x, ratio_times_x, analytic_value, domain_certificate, certificate]]

Conditions: none

List the full source field order without JavaScript,keeping original data,Boolean flags,mathematical objects and nonclaims distinct.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: source_ordered_fields_without_JS · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

OGF ORIGINAL ratio times x := mul(7/8, 1/2)

After

OGF ORIGINAL ratio times x = 7/16

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,checking nonzero denominators without floats.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

OGF geometric denominator := sub(1, 7/16)

After

OGF geometric denominator = 9/16

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,checking nonzero denominators without floats.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

OGF geometric analytic value := div(1, 9/16)

After

OGF geometric analytic value = 16/9

Conditions: none

Substitute original roles and established intermediates exactly,checking nonzero denominators without floats.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

source roles = [7/8, 1/2, 7/16]

After

derived = [Yes, 16/9, for EVERY N,S_N=(1-z^(N+1))/(1-z);z^(N+1)->0]

Conditions: none

The whole law a_n=r^n is declared.|rx|<1 gives a nonzero denominator and vanishing geometric tail,justifying analytic equality.A nonzero denominator outside convergence is insufficient.

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute OGF geometric analytic value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute OGF geometric denominator with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute OGF ORIGINAL ratio times x with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(a_n=(7/8)^n_for_every_n>=0, 1/2, 7/16, 16/9, Yes, A(x)=1/(1-rx)_only_on_absolute_rx_less_than_one)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
