TopicGeometric Sequences and Series

8. In this question you must show detailed reasoning. It is given that the geometric series $$1 + \frac { 5 } { 3 x - 4 } + \left( \frac { 5 } { 3 x - 4 } \right) ^ { 2 } + \left( \frac { 5 } { 3 x - 4 } \right) ^ { 3 } + \ldots$$ is convergent.
  1. Find the set of possible values of \(x\), giving your answer in set notation.
  2. Given that the sum to infinity of the series is \(\frac { 2 } { 3 }\), find the value of \(x\).
