Answer

The series is convergent and the sum of series is $\frac{3e}{3-e}$.

Work Step by Step

$\Sigma^{\infty}_{n=0} \frac{e^{n}}{3^{n-1}} = \Sigma^{\infty}_{n=0} \frac{e \times e^{n-1}}{3^{n-1}}$ $=\Sigma^{\infty}_{n=0} e(\frac{e}{3})^{n-1}$ $a=e$ and $r=\frac{e}{3}$ Since $2 \lt e \lt 3$ Therefore $\frac{e}{3} \lt 1$ $r \lt 1$ The series is convergent $\Sigma^{\infty}_{n=0} \frac{e^{n}}{3^{n-1}} = \frac{a}{1-r}$ $= \frac{e}{1-\frac{e}{3}}$ $=\frac{3e}{3-e}$
