Answer
The formula is not valid in this case.
Work Step by Step
This is a geometric series in which $c=1$ and $r=3$ with the sum
$$\frac{1}{1-3}=-\frac{1}{2}.$$
It is impossible for the sum to be negative, since all the terms are positive. The formula is not valid because we have $r=3$ and we must have $|r|\lt 1$ to use the formula.
