Just think relative; it doesn't matter when in time we do this. So 0 to n is identical to any other interval. > > > = A^i * cpu_load(n-i) + B * (A^i - 1) / (A - 1) > > > , by geometric series formula for sum > > > > That's wrong; the limited geometric series expands to: > > NO, that's not wrong. it doesn't matter at all. > > a * (1 - r^n) / (1 - r) > = a * (-1)(r^n - 1) / (-1)(r - 1) > = a * (r^n - 1) / (r - 1) > > i mean these two are exactly same. Ah indeed! Sorry for that.
