Problem: Find the value of
\[
\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} n \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n.
\]
Solution: Note that the given sequence is an arithmetic-geometric series. Let
\[
S = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} n \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n.
\]
First of all, we will show that the given series is convergent. For that, we will use the ratio test. Consider the general term of the series:
\[
a_n = n \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n.
\]
We need to find the limit
\[
\lim_{n \to \infty} \left| \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \right|.
\]
We have
\begin{align*}
\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} & = \frac{(n+1) \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{n+1}}{n \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n} \\
& = \frac{n+1}{2n}.
\end{align*}
Taking the limit as \( n \) approaches infinity, we get
\[
\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n+1}{2n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1 + \frac{1}{n}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}.
\]
Since the limit is less than $1$, the ratio test confirms that the series is convergent.
Now we assume that
\[
S = 0 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^0 + 1 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1 + 2 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 + 3 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3 + \cdots
\]
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{1}{2}$, we get
\[
\frac{S}{2} = 0 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1 + 1 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 + 2 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3 + 3 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^4 + \cdots
\]
Subtracting the above equation from $S$, we get
\begin{align*}
S - \frac{S}{2} & = \left( 1 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1 + 2 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 + 3 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3 + \cdots \right) \\
& \quad - \left( 0 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^1 + 1 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 + 2 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^3 + \cdots \right) \\[1ex]
\implies \frac{S}{2} & = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2^2} + \frac{1}{2^3} + \cdots \\[1ex]
\implies S & = 2 \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^n = 2 \left( \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{1}{2}} \right) = 2.
\end{align*}
Thus,
