A = 3 ^ 1 + 3 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 3 + .... + 3 ^ 999
3A = 3 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 3 + 3 ^ 4 + ... + 3 ^ 1000
3A - A = ( 3 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 3 + 3 ^ 4 + ... + 3 ^ 1000 )
- ( 3 ^ 1 + 3 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 3 + .... + 3 ^ 999 )
2A = 3 ^ 1000 - 3
A = \(\frac{3^{1000}-3}{2}\)
\(A=3+3^2+3^3+...+3^{999}\)
\(3A=3^2+3^3+3^4+...+3^{1000}\)
\(3A-A=\left(3^2+3^3+3^4+...+3^{1000}\right)-\left(3+3^2+3^3+...+3^{999}\right)\)
\(2A=3^{1000}-3\)
\(A=\frac{3^{1000}-3}{2}\)
