;et x = (a+b) + (a^2 + ab + b^2) + (a^3 + a^2(b) + a(b^2) + b^3) ......

multiply both the sides by (a-b).

x(a-b) = (a^2-b^2) + (a^3 - b^3) + (a^4 - b^) + ......

use GP. the question is prety easy :)

 Just multiply and divide the expression by (a-b) and sum it.

 

 

The expression will become

 

 

S = [(a2-b2) + (a3-b3) + (a4-b4) +..........]/(a-b)   

                                                                                               

( Sum of infinite GP 1+a+a2+a3+...... = 1/(1-a) ----------- (Geometric Progressions formula) )

 

 

So a2+a3+a4+.... = a2/(1-a).

 

 

So S = [ (a2+a3+....) - (b2+b3+.....) ] / (a-b)

 

 

 

So S = [ a2/(1-a) - b2/(1-b) ] / (a-b)

 

 

 

 

or S = (a+b-ab)/[(1-a)(1-b)]

I DONT KNOW I AM RIGHT OR WRONG

LET 

A=      (a+b)+  (a^2 +ab+b^2) +(a^3+a^2b+ab^2+b^3)+..........................

A=      (a+a^2+a^3+................)+(b+b^2+b^3+........)+(ab+  (a^2b+ab^2)+(a^3.b+a^2.b^2+a.b^3)+........)

A=      (a+a^2+a^3+..............)+(b+b^2+b^3+.......)+(ab + ab.(a+b)+ ab.(a^2+ab+b^2)+..................... )

A=      (a+a^2+a^3+............)+(b+b^2+b^3+......)+ab(1+     (a+b)+ (a^2+ab+b^2)+..........................)

A=      (a+a^2+a^3+.........)+(b+b^2+b^3+.....)+ab(1+A)

A -ab.A=(a+a^2+a^3+...........)+(b+b^2+b^3+.................)+ab

A(1-ab)=(a+a^2+a^3+...........)+(b+b^2+b^3+................)+ab

as i know you are not fool you will never say that  a and b are greater or equal to -1 or lesser or equal to -1

so

A(1-ab)=            a/(1-a)+ b/(1-b)  +ab

after this solve by yourself
