Hi
please help me with my homework. its due tomorrow
i have 6 questions, here's the first:

write a program to find the sum of the numbers of the infiite series:
1+x+x**2+x**3+x**4+ . . . .
where the number of terms is 'n' and the value of 'x' are input before the summation begins.

this is my first question and i don't know how to make the exponents. I know its got something to do with the number of terms.

thanks in advance!

p.s. i dont want anyone to tell me the answer, but help me with it. i think i almost have it except for the exponent thing.

i am not 100% shure what you whont your progame to do but form the sownds of it you need: 1. a get stamet to input the data you need from the user. 2. you will need a loop 3. to make an expont in turing you put the number**the expont. ie 10**5 is 100000.

if you need more help plz post.
