The correct Answer is:
To find the sum to infinity of the series \( S = 1 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{3^2} + \frac{4}{3^3} + \ldots \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Series Type The series can be identified as an AGP (Arithmetic-Geometric Progression) because the numerators \( 1, 2, 3, 4, \ldots \) are in an arithmetic progression (AP) and the denominators \( 3^0, 3^1, 3^2, 3^3, \ldots \) are in a geometric progression (GP). ### Step 2: Write the Series We can express the series as: \[ S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n}{3^{n-1}} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the Series by a Constant To simplify the series, we multiply \( S \) by \( \frac{1}{3} \): \[ \frac{S}{3} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3^2} + \frac{3}{3^3} + \frac{4}{3^4} + \ldots \] ### Step 4: Subtract the Two Series Now, we will subtract \( \frac{S}{3} \) from \( S \): \[ S - \frac{S}{3} = \left(1 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{3^2} + \frac{4}{3^3} + \ldots\right) - \left(\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3^2} + \frac{3}{3^3} + \frac{4}{3^4} + \ldots\right) \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Result This subtraction gives: \[ S - \frac{S}{3} = 1 + \left(\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}\right) + \left(\frac{3}{3^2} - \frac{2}{3^2}\right) + \left(\frac{4}{3^3} - \frac{3}{3^3}\right) + \ldots \] \[ = 1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{3^3} + \ldots \] ### Step 6: Recognize the New Series The series \( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{3^3} + \ldots \) is a geometric series with first term \( a = \frac{1}{3} \) and common ratio \( r = \frac{1}{3} \). ### Step 7: Sum the Geometric Series The sum of an infinite geometric series is given by: \[ \text{Sum} = \frac{a}{1 - r} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{1 - \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 8: Combine Results Now substituting back, we have: \[ S - \frac{S}{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} \] \[ S - \frac{S}{3} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 9: Solve for \( S \) Now, we can solve for \( S \): \[ S \left(1 - \frac{1}{3}\right) = \frac{3}{2} \] \[ S \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) = \frac{3}{2} \] \[ S = \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{4} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the sum to infinity of the series is: \[ \boxed{\frac{9}{4}} \]
