Find the sum of the first five terms of an infinite geometric progression with a common ratio |r|<1 if the second term is (4/3) and the ratio of the sum of the squares of the terms of the progression to the sum of the terms of the progression is 3:1.

4, 4/3, 4/9, 4/27, 4/81......etc.
Common ratio = 1/3
Sum(5) =5 79/81
Sum of the squares of the terms converge to=18
Sum of the terms converge to =6
