Answer

$S=12$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{∞}4(\frac{2}{3})^{k-1}=4(\frac{2}{3})^{0}+4(\frac{2}{3})^{1}+4(\frac{2}{3})^{2}...$ $a_1=4(\frac{2}{3})^{0}=4$ $r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{4(\frac{2}{3})^{1}}{4(\frac{2}{3})^{0}}=\frac{2}{3}$ $S=\frac{a_1}{1-r}=\frac{4}{1-\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}=12$
