Estimate by (2) the remainder … in the geometric series

17–24 are about remainders and are about binomials.

Estimate by (2) the remainder $R_{n} = x^{n + 1} + x^{n + 2} + \dots$ in the geometric series. Then compute $R_{n}$ exactly and find the unknown point $c$ for $n = 2$ and $x = \frac{1}{2}$ .
