Given an infinite series and a value x, the task is to find its sum. Below is the infinite series 
 

1^2*x^0 + 2^2*x^1 + 3^2*x^2 + 4^2*x^3 +……. upto infinity, where x belongs to (-1, 1)


Examples: 
 

Input: x = 0.5
Output: 12

Input: x = 0.9
Output: 1900


 


Approach:
Though the given series is not an Arithmetico-Geometric series, however, the differences (2^2-1^2), (3^2-2^2), ...   and so on, forms an AP. So, we can use the Method of Differences.
Let\: S = 1 + 4x + 9x^2 + 16x^3 + ...\infty \\\\ Multiply\: both\: sides\: with\: common\: ratio\: x\: of\: the\: GP(geometric progression).\\ S_x = x + 4x^2 + 9x^3 + ...\infty \\ \\ Now, \: subtract\: the\: two\: equations.\\ => (1-x)S = 1 + 3x + 5x^2 + 7x^3 + ...\infty \null\hfill (1)\\\\ Now, \: let\: R = 1 + 3x + 5x^2 + 7x^3 + ...\infty, \: which\: is\: an \:Arithmetico-Geometric\: series\: with \:a=1, \: d=2 \:and \:r=x.\\ For an A.G.P., $Sum \:R \:= \frac{a}{1-r} + \frac{rd}{(1-r)^2} \\ Substituting\: the \:values, \:we\: get\: R = \frac{1+x}{(1-x)^2} \\ Substitute\: R\: in\: (1), \:we\: get, (1-x)S=\frac{1+x}{(1-x)^2} \\ => S= \frac{1+x}{(1-x)^3}$
Hence, the sum will be (1+x)/(1-x)^3.
Below is the implementation of above approach: 
 

C++

// C++ implementation of above approach
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
 
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate sum
double solve_sum(double x)
{
    // Return sum
    return (1 + x) / pow(1 - x, 3);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // declaration of value of x
    double x = 0.5;
 
    // Function call to calculate
    // the sum when x=0.5
    cout << solve_sum(x);
 
    return 0;
}

                    

Java

// Java Program to find
//sum of the given infinite series
import java.util.*;
 
class solution
{
static double calculateSum(double x)
{
     
// Returning the final sum
return (1 + x) / Math.pow(1 - x, 3);
 
}
 
//Driver code
public static void main(String ar[])
{
     
  double x=0.5;
  System.out.println((int)calculateSum(x));
 
}
}

Python

# Python implementation of above approach
 
# Function to calculate sum
def solve_sum(x):
    # Return sum
    return (1 + x)/pow(1-x, 3)
 
# driver code
 
# declaration of value of x
x = 0.5
 
# Function call to calculate the sum when x = 0.5
print(int(solve_sum(x)))

                    

C#

// C# Program to find sum of
// the given infinite series
using System;
 
class GFG
{
static double calculateSum(double x)
{
     
// Returning the final sum
return (1 + x) / Math.Pow(1 - x, 3);
 
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main()
{
    double x = 0.5;
    Console.WriteLine((int)calculateSum(x));
}
}

PHP

<?php
// PHP implementation of
// above approach
 
// Function to calculate sum
function solve_sum($x)
{
    // Return sum
    return (1 + $x) /
            pow(1 - $x, 3);
}
 
// Driver code
 
// declaration of value of x
$x = 0.5;
 
// Function call to calculate
// the sum when x=0.5
echo solve_sum($x);
 
// This code is contributed
// by inder_verma
?>

                    

Javascript

<script>
// javascript Program to find
//sum of the given infinite series
 
 
function calculateSum(x)
{
     
// Returning the final sum
return (1 + x) / Math.pow(1 - x, 3);
 
}
 
//Driver code
  
var x=0.5;
document.write(parseInt(calculateSum(x)));
 
// This code is contributed by 29AjayKumar
 
</script>

                    

Output: 
12

 

Time Complexity: O(1)
