Answer

The series converges to $\frac{448}{3}$.

Work Step by Step

Step 1 This is a geometric series with a common ratio $r = \frac{4}{7}$. Since $|r| < 1$, this series converges. The initial term is $a = \frac{4^3}{7^0} = \frac{64}{1} = 64$. Step 2 The sum is: $S= \frac{a_1}{1 - r} = \frac{64}{1 - \frac{4}{7}} = 64\cdot \frac{7}{3}= \frac{448}{3}$. Result The series converges to $\frac{448}{3}$.
