A problem related to arithmetico-geometric sequence Question:

Find the sum of the series: $1 + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{6}{3^2} + \frac{10}{3^3} + \frac{14}{3^4} + ... = 1+\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(4n-2)}{3^n}$

My doubt:
I have taken $\frac{2}{3} + \frac{6}{3^2} + \frac{10}{3^3} + \frac{14}{3^4} + ...$ to be in A.G.P. and calculated the sum using the formula $$S_\infty=\frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{d \cdot r}{(1-r)^2},$$ where $a=\frac23, r=\frac13$ and $d=4$.
I get $S_\infty=4$ and then I add $1$ to it to get the answer $5$.
But my book shows a different method with a different answer ($3$).
Please tell what is wrong with this method.

It's not a standard AGP. An AGP has the recurrence relation $u_{n+1}=r*u_n+b$, but here that isn't the case. So that's why you can't plug it into the formula for an AGP!
