Tutorial Exercise 1: X y Z X y Z X y Z

This document contains 3 tutorial exercises. Exercise 1 involves finding the sum of terms in a geometric progression and determining n such that the partial sum is within 0.0001 of the full sum. Exercise 2 involves finding the inverse of a matrix and solving a system of equations. Exercise 3 involves expressing a fraction in partial fractions, finding the sum of the fractions, and expanding the fraction as a power series up to x^3.
