Find the sum of the following series. If it is divergent, type "Diverges" or "D". [ -sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n}left(-frac{1}{3} ight)^{n}=frac{1}{3}-frac{1}{18}+frac{1}{81}-frac{1}{324}+cdots ] Answer: Note: You cannot write a decimal number for the answer. Hint: What power series is equal to this sum?
