### Infinite Series Summation Problem

**Question:**  
What is the value of \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 4 \left(\frac{7}{6}\right)^{n-1}\) ?

**Your answer:**

- ⦿ \(-20\)
- ⦿ \(-5\)
- ⦿ The series diverges
- ⦿ \(4\)

Explanation:
- The given expression is an infinite geometric series where the first term \(a = 4\) and the common ratio \(r = \frac{7}{6}\).
- To determine whether the series converges or diverges, we need to examine the common ratio \(r\). For a geometric series to converge, the absolute value of the common ratio \(|r|\) must be less than 1.
- In this case, \(\left|\frac{7}{6}\right| = \frac{7}{6} > 1\), which means the series does not converge. Instead, it **diverges**.
