1. The problem is to find the sum of the series: $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{2} + \ldots$
2. First, identify the pattern or rule for the terms in the series.
3. The terms are $\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}, \ldots$
4. Let's write the terms with a common denominator to see the pattern better:
$$\frac{1}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{9}{6}, \ldots$$
5. Notice the numerators form a geometric sequence: $1, 3, 9, \ldots$ with common ratio $3$.
6. The series can be expressed as:
$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{3^n}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \sum_{n=0}^\infty 3^n$$
7. However, the sum $\sum_{n=0}^\infty 3^n$ diverges because the common ratio $3 > 1$.
8. Therefore, the series $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{2} + \ldots$ diverges and does not have a finite sum.
Final answer: The series diverges and the sum is infinite.
