we have begin mathsize 12px style 1 space plus x space plus x squared space plus x cubed plus............. plus x to the power of n minus 1 end exponent space equals space fraction numerator 1 minus x to the power of n over denominator 1 minus x end fraction end style
hence begin mathsize 12px style fraction numerator 1 plus x plus x squared plus.............. plus x to the power of 2 n minus 2 end exponent over denominator 1 plus x plus x squared plus.............. plus x to the power of n minus 1 end exponent end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 1 minus x to the power of 2 n minus 1 end exponent over denominator 1 minus x to the power of n end fraction end style
from the above exprtession, it will be seen that polunomial is possible only if n = 1
