    From the given sequence:

    1/4, 2/9, 4,27, 8/81, 16/243

    the common ratio is: 2/3

    thus the sum of the series will be given by the formula:

    Sn=[a (1-r^n) ] / (1-r)

    plugging the values we obtain:

    Sn=[1/4 (1 - (2/3) ^n) ] / (1-2/3)

    thus the equation that will be used to find the sum is:

    Sn=3[1/4-1/4 (2/3) ^n]

    =3/4[1 - (2/3) ^n]
