The correct Answer is:
To find the sum to infinite terms of the series \( S = 1 + 2 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) + 3 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^2 + 4 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^3 + \ldots \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the series The series can be expressed as: \[ S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^{n-1} \] This is a series where the coefficients \( n \) form an arithmetic progression and the terms \( \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^{n-1} \) form a geometric progression. ### Step 2: Use the formula for the sum of an infinite series The sum of an infinite series of the form \( S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n x^{n-1} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ S = \frac{1}{(1-x)^2} \] where \( |x| < 1 \). Here, we have \( x = \frac{11}{10} \), which is greater than 1. However, we will manipulate the series to find the sum. ### Step 3: Multiply the series by \( \frac{11}{10} \) Let’s multiply the entire series \( S \) by \( \frac{11}{10} \): \[ \frac{11}{10} S = \frac{11}{10} \left( 1 + 2 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) + 3 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^2 + 4 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^3 + \ldots \right) \] This gives us: \[ \frac{11}{10} S = \frac{11}{10} + 2 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^2 + 3 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^3 + 4 \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^4 + \ldots \] ### Step 4: Set up the equation Now, we can set up the equation: \[ S - \frac{11}{10} S = 1 + \left(2 - \frac{11}{10}\right) \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) + \left(3 - 2\right) \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^2 + \left(4 - 3\right) \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^3 + \ldots \] This simplifies to: \[ S - \frac{11}{10} S = 1 + \left(\frac{1}{10}\right) \left(\frac{11}{10}\right) + \left(1\right) \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^2 + \left(1\right) \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^3 + \ldots \] ### Step 5: Recognize the remaining series The remaining series is a geometric series: \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^n = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{11}{10}} = -10 \] Thus, we have: \[ S - \frac{11}{10} S = 1 - 10 \] \[ S - \frac{11}{10} S = -9 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( S \) Now, factor out \( S \): \[ S \left(1 - \frac{11}{10}\right) = -9 \] \[ S \left(-\frac{1}{10}\right) = -9 \] \[ S = -9 \cdot -10 = 90 \] ### Final Answer The sum to infinite terms of the series is: \[ \boxed{90} \]
