problem

Let uu and vv be real numbers such that (u+u2+u3++u8)+10u9=(v+v2+v3++v10)+10v11=8.(u + u^2 + u^3 + \cdots + u^8) + 10u^9 = (v + v^2 + v^3 + \cdots + v^{10}) + 10v^{11} = 8. Determine, with proof, which of the two numbers, uu or vv , is larger.

Original LaTeX notation
Let $u$ and $v$ be real numbers such that \[(u + u^2 + u^3 + \cdots + u^8) + 10u^9 = (v + v^2 + v^3 + \cdots + v^{10}) + 10v^{11} = 8.\] Determine, with proof, which of the two numbers, $u$ or $v$ , is larger.
