Find the sum to infinity of the series ` 1 + (1+a)r+(1 + a + a ^(2))r^(2) + … ` where ` 0 lt a, r le 1 `

Explanation

To find the sum to infinity of the series \( S = 1 + (1 + a)r + (1 + a + a^2)r^2 + \ldots \), we can break it down step by step.

### Step 1: Identify the pattern in the series
The series can be expressed as:
\[ S = 1 + (1 + a)r + (1 + a + a^2)r^2 + (1 + a + a^2 + a^3)r^3 + \ldots \]
We can see that each term can be expressed as:
