Given summation is an AGP.
Let S \mathcal{S} denote the given summation.
S = 3 + 2. 3 2 + 3. 3 3 . . . + 10. 3 10 \mathcal{S}=3+2.3^2+3.3^3...+10.3^{10} 3 S = 3 2 + 2. 3 3 + . . . + 9. 3 10 + 10. 3 11 3 \mathcal{S}=~~~~~~~~3^2+2.3^3+...+9.3^{10}+10.3^{11} Subtracting these, we get: 2 S = 3 + 3 2 + . . . + 3 10 3 11 -2\mathcal{S}=\color{#D61F06}{3+3^2+...+3^{10} }-3^{11} R e d \color{#D61F06}{Red} terms are sum of a GP. Calculating it and few manipulations gives: S = 19. 3 11 + 3 4 \mathcal{S}=\dfrac{19.3^{11}+3}{4} S = 841449 \Large \Rightarrow \mathcal{S}=\boxed{841449}

Simple Cpp works,

include<iostream>

include<math.h>

using namespace std; int main() { int fact=1,i,num;

     float sum=0 ,term=1;


      cout<<"Enter the number of terms";

      cin>>num;

       for(i=1;i<=num;i++)
{
    term=i*pow(3,i);
    sum=sum+term;
}
cout<<"sum="<<sum;
fflush(stdin);
getchar();
return 0;

}
