The geometric series is convergent and the value is 16.
Recall that the sum of an infinite geometric series, S, given first term, t_1, and common ratio, r, is given by:
S = t_1/(1 - r)
Note that:
3 = (4)(3/4)
9/4 = (3)(3/4)
27/16 = (9/4)(3/4)
So this a geometric series with t_1 = 4 and r = 3/4. Therefore:
4 + 3 + 9/4 + 27/16 + ... = 4/(1 - 3/4) = 4/(1/4) = 16
The correct option is 16.
