The problem involves a geometric series. Let's break it down step by step:

1. Given Geometric Series:

The series given is:

$\frac{24}{x} + 12 + 6x + 3x^2 + \ldots$

The general form of a geometric series is:

$a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 + \ldots$

Where:

• $a$ is the first term
• $r$ is the common ratio

Step 1: Identify $a$ and $r$

From the given series, we can see the terms:

• First term $a = \frac{24}{x}$
• Second term = 12, which suggests we can find the common ratio $r$.

So, the common ratio $r$ can be found by dividing the second term by the first term:

$r = \frac{12}{\frac{24}{x}} = \frac{12 \cdot x}{24} = \frac{x}{2}$

Thus, the series is geometric with:

• $a = \frac{24}{x}$
• $r = \frac{x}{2}$

2. Finding the Sum of 15 Terms

The formula for the sum of the first $n$ terms of a geometric series is:

$S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}$

For $n = 15$, we substitute $a = \frac{24}{x}$, $r = \frac{x}{2}$, and $n = 15$ into the formula:

$S_{15} = \frac{\frac{24}{x} (1 - \left( \frac{x}{2} \right)^{15})}{1 - \frac{x}{2}}$

Step 2.1: Case for $x = 4$

Substitute $x = 4$ into the formula for the sum of the first 15 terms.

$S_{15} = \frac{\frac{24}{4} \left(1 - \left(\frac{4}{2}\right)^{15}\right)}{1 - \frac{4}{2}}$

Simplify this expression and compute the result.
