<s>[INST] Proof by induction, $1/2 + ... + n/2^n < 2$ So I'm having trouble with proving this homework question by induction. 
$$
\frac{1}{2^1} + \frac{2}{2^2} + ... +\frac{n-1}{2^{n-1}} + \frac{n}{2^n} <2
$$
I know how to prove that the series converges to 2 (using things like the ratio method), but actually using induction is where I get confused.
Base case is easy, n=1.
$$
\frac{1}{2^1}<2
$$
Induction case we assume that
$$
\frac{1}{2^1} + \frac{2}{2^2} + ... +\frac{k-1}{2^{k-1}} + \frac{k}{2^k} <2
$$
Then we get to fun old induction. How do I show that
$$
\frac{1}{2^1} + \frac{2}{2^2} + ... +\frac{k-1}{2^{k-1}} + \frac{k}{2^k} + \frac{k+1}{2^{k+1}} <2 ?
$$
 [/INST] Hint:
It's a sum of an arithmetico-geometric progression:
$$S_{n}={\frac {a-(a+nd)\,r^{n}}{1-r}}+{\frac {dr\,(1-r^{n})}{(1-r)^{2}}}$$
Here $d$ is the common difference, $r$ is the common ratio, $n$ denotes the number of terms and $a$ is the first term.
