    It does not exist.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If we divide the second term by the first, 3rd by the 2nd and the 4th by the 3rd we get a constant result 4/3.

    So this is a Geometric Series with common ratio r = 4/3 and a1 = 1/3.

    As the common ratio is greater than 1 the series diverges (continues to get bigger) so there is no sum to infinity. It just goes on getting bigger and bigger without bounds.
