![**Mathematical Series Problem**
**Problem 7:**
Find the exact sum of the series:
\[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-2)^n + 1}{3n}
\]
---
In this problem, you're asked to determine the exact sum of the infinite series given by the formula:
\[
\frac{(-2)^n + 1}{3n}
\]
The summation starts from \(n=1\) and approaches infinity (\(\infty\)).
To solve for the exact sum, you may consider methods such as breaking down the series into more manageable parts, recognizing patterns, or employing known series summation formulas and techniques.
---
This problem involves understanding series summation, manipulation of exponential terms, and division by a linear term in \(n\). It may require techniques from higher-level mathematics such as calculus or advanced algebra to resolve.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3bf7da54-5138-4b57-a0f9-aec30fa8e8cf%2F693a41e5-8248-4268-a1ec-9168a5d39ef8%2Fx0zm2g_reoriented.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
