If xx is positive then the sum to infinity of the series 11+3x−1−3x(1+3x)2+(1−3x)2(1+3x)3−(1−3x)3(1+3x)4…∞\frac{1}{1+3 x}-\frac{1-3 x}{(1+3 x)^{2}}+\frac{(1-3 x)^{2}}{(1+3 x)^{3}}-\frac{(1-3 x)^{3}}{(1+3 x)^{4}} \ldots \infty is

Options

  1. A1/21 / 2
  2. B16x\frac{1}{6 x}
  3. C16x(1+3x)\frac{1}{6 x(1+3 x)}
  4. D12(1+3x)\frac{1}{2(1+3 x)}

Correct answer

A. 1/21 / 2

Step-by-step solution

The series is a G.P. with common ratio =(1−3x1+3x)=\left(\frac{1-3 \mathrm{x}}{1+3 \mathrm{x}}\right) and |\mathrm{r}|=\left|\frac{1-3 \mathrm{x}}{1+3 \mathrm{x}}\right|islessthan1sinceis less than 1 since\mathrm{x}ispositiveis positive\mathrm{S}_{\infty}=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{1-\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\frac{1}{1+3 \mathrm{x}}}{1-\left\{-\left(\frac{1-3 \mathrm{x}}{1+3 \mathrm{x}}\right)\right\}}=\frac{1}{2}
