# --description--
|
|
|
|
Given is the arithmetic-geometric sequence $u(k) = (900 - 3k)r^{k - 1}$.
|
|
|
|
Let $s(n) = \sum_{k=1 \ldots n} u(k)$.
|
|
|
|
Find the value of $r$ for which $s(5000) = -600\\,000\\,000\\,000$.
|
|
|
|
Give your answer rounded to 12 places behind the decimal point.
|

# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`arithmeticGeometricSequence()` should return `1.002322108633`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(arithmeticGeometricSequence(), 1.002322108633);
|
|
```
