sequences and series - Why does $sum_{n = 0}^infty frac{n}{2^n}$ converge to 2?

Apparently,



$$
\sum_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{n}{2^n}
$$



converges to 2. I'm trying to figure out why. I've tried viewing it as a geometric series, but it's not quite a geometric series since the numerator increases by 1 every term.

How to find $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin(ha)}{h}$ without lhopital rule? I know when I use lhopital I easy get $$ \lim_{h\rightarrow 0}...
