The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the series \[ S = 1 + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 2} \cdot \frac{1}{3^4} + \frac{1 \cdot 4 \cdot 7}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3} \cdot \frac{1}{3^6} + \ldots \] we can observe that the series can be expressed in terms of a generalized binomial expansion. ### Step 1: Identify the general term of the series The general term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = \frac{(3n-2)(3n-5)\ldots(1)}{n!} \cdot \frac{1}{3^{2n}} \] for \( n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots \) ### Step 2: Recognize the pattern The numerator of the general term can be recognized as a double factorial, which can also be expressed in terms of the Gamma function or Pochhammer symbols. The series resembles the expansion of \( (1-x)^{-k} \). ### Step 3: Use the binomial series expansion The binomial series expansion for \( (1-x)^{-k} \) is given by: \[ (1-x)^{-k} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(k)_n}{n!} x^n \] where \( (k)_n \) is the Pochhammer symbol (rising factorial). ### Step 4: Set up the equation In our case, we can set \( x = \frac{1}{9} \) and \( k = \frac{1}{3} \). Thus, we can write: \[ S = (1 - \frac{1}{9})^{-1/3} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression Now we simplify: \[ S = \left(\frac{8}{9}\right)^{-1/3} = \left(\frac{9}{8}\right)^{1/3} \] ### Step 6: Final result Thus, the sum of the series is: \[ S = \left(\frac{9}{8}\right)^{1/3} \]

To find the sum of the series \[ S = 1 + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 2} \cdot \frac{1}{3^4} + \frac{1 \cdot 4 \cdot 7}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3} \cdot \frac{1}{3^6} + \ldots \] we can observe that the series can be expressed in terms of a generalized binomial expansion. ...
