Let \(w_r = r(r+1)(r+2)\ldots(r+9)\).
(a) Show that \(w_{r+1} - w_r = 10(r+1)(r+2)\ldots(r+9)\).
(b) Given that \(u_r = (r+1)(r+2)\ldots(r+9)\), find \(\sum_{r=1}^{n} u_r\) in terms of \(n\).
(c) Given that \(v_r = x^{w_{r+1}} - x^{w_r}\), find the set of values of \(x\) for which the infinite series \(v_1 + v_2 + v_3 + \ldots\) is convergent and give the sum to infinity when this exists.
