Find the sum of the infinite series: 1 + 4/7 + 9/49 + 16/343 +...

  1. 481/271
  2. 49/27
  3. 518/344
  4. 53/34

Correct answer: 49/27

Solution

The general term is n² / 7^(n-1). Using the identity sum n² r^(n-1) = (1+r)/(1-r)³ with r = 1/7 gives (1 + 1/7)/(1 - 1/7)³ = (8/7) / (6/7)³ = (8/7) * (343/216) = 49/27.
