x = 1 2 2 + 4 2 5 2 + 7 2 8 2 + x =\large { 1 - 2^{-2} + 4^{-2} - 5^{-2} + 7^{-2} - 8^{-2} + \ldots } y = 1 + 2 2 4 2 5 2 + 7 2 + 8 2 y = \large {1+ 2^{-2} - 4^{-2} - 5^{-2} + 7^{-2} + 8^{-2} - \ldots } y x = 2. 2 2 2. 4 2 + 2. 8 2 2.1 0 2 + 2.1 4 2 2.1 6 2 + y - x = 2.2^{-2} - 2.4^{-2} + 2.8^{-2} - 2.10^{-2} + 2.14^{-2} - 2.16^{-2} + \ldots y x = 2. 2 2 ( 1 2 2 + 4 2 5 2 + 7 2 8 2 + ) = 1 2 x y- x = 2.2^{-2} \Bigg( 1 -2^{-2} + 4^{-2} - 5^{-2} + 7^{-2} - 8^{-2} + \ldots \Bigg) = \frac{1}{2} x y x = 1 2 x y- x = \frac {1}{2} x y = 3 2 x y = \frac {3}{2} x so we get x y = 2 3 = . 666 \text {so we get } \frac {x}{y} = \frac {2}{3} = .666 And the problem is solved :)
