Let \(r\) be the positive real solution to \(x^3 + \frac{2}{5} x - 1 = 0.\) Find the exact numerical value of \(r^2 + 2r^5 + 3r^8 + 4r^{11} + \dotsb.\)
 

 

Thank You!

Let \(r\) be the positive real solution to \(x^3 + \dfrac{2}{5} x - 1 = 0\).
Find the exact numerical value of \(r^2 + 2r^5 + 3r^8 + 4r^{11} + \dotsb\) .
