    If \[\left| x \right|<1\], then find the sum of the series \[1+2x+3{{x}^{2}}+4{{x}^{3}}+\] ....... up to \[\infty \]

    A)  \[\frac{2}{1-{{x}^{2}}}\]                   

    B)  \[\frac{3}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{x}{1-{{x}^{2}}}\]                   

    D)  \[\frac{x}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d): Let \[S=1+2x+3{{x}^{2}}+4{{x}^{3}}+\]                      ?. (1) \[xS=1x+2{{x}^{2}}+3{{x}^{3}}+\]                                    ?. (2) Eq. (1) ? Eq. (2) gives \[S(1-x)=1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}}+{{x}^{4}}+\]??. Now, \[1+x+{{x}^{2}}+\]??. is an infinite GP with a = 1, r = x and |r| = |x|<1 \[\therefore \] Sum of the series \[=\frac{1}{1-x}\] \[\therefore \]\[S(1-x)=\frac{1}{(1-x)}\] \[\therefore \]\[S=\frac{1}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}\]
