t_n =(1/3^n ) +((2n)/3^n ) + (n^2 /3^n )  t_1  = (1/3) + 2(1/3) + (1^2 /3)  t_2  = (1/3^2 ) +2(2/3^2 ) + (2^2 /3^2 )  ............................  S = ((1/3) + (1/3^2 ) + ...) +2((1/3)+(2/3^2 ) +.........) + ((1^2 /3) +(2^2 /3^2 ) +(3^2 /3^3 ) + ......)  =I_1 + I_2  +I_3   Now   I_1 =((1/3)/(1−(1/3)))= (1/2)  For I_2   (t_(n+1) /t_n ) = ((n+1)/(3n))→(1/3)<1 as n→∞  ∴I_2  converges  For I_3               (t_(n+1) /t_n ) = (1/3).(((n+1)^2 )/n^2 )= (1/3) .(1+(2/n)+(1/n^2 ) )→(1/3) as n→∞  thus I_3  also converges  ∴ the entire series is convergent   Is it ok ?  Waiting for your feedback.
