Let A₁, A2, A3, ..., A,, are n points in a plane whose coordinates
are (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), ..., (x, yn), respectively. A,A2 is bisected
at the point P₁, P₁4, is divided in the ratio 1: 2 at P2, P244
is divided in the ratio 1: 3 at P3, P3A, is divided in the ratio
1:4 at P4 and so on until all n points are exhausted. Find the
coordinates of the final point so obtained.
