Lily pads lie in a row on a pond. A frog makes a sequence of jumps starting on pad
. From any pad
the frog jumps to either pad
or pad
chosen randomly with probability
and independently of other jumps. The probability that the frog visits pad
is
, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers. Find
.
