How to calculate $sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(2^n+(-1)^n)^2}{11^n} $
I know that result $frac{331}{910}$ because I checked it in Mathematica but I have troubles with calculate that.
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(2^n+(-1)^n)^2}{11^n} = ... = $$
$$ sum_{n=1}^{infty}(2^n cdot (frac{2}{11})^n+2cdot(frac{2}{11})^ncdot(-1)^n + frac{1}{11^n})$$ But what should be done after...?

Now you have $3$ geometric series, all convergent, and you can use the fact that for $|p|<1$, $$sum_{p=0}^infty p^n=frac{1}{1-p}$$

For $|p|<1$, $sum_{n=1}^{infty}p^n=frac{p}{1-p}$, so
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(2^n+(-1)^n)^2}{11^n}=sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{4^n}{11^n}+2sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(-2)^n}{11^n}+sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{1}{11^n}\
= frac{frac{4}{11}}{1-frac{4}{11}}-2frac{frac{2}{11}}{1+frac{2}{11}}+frac{frac{1}{11}}{1-frac{1}{11}}\=frac{4}{7}-frac{4}{13}+frac{1}{10}=frac{331}{910}$$

Once you've expanded $(2^n-(-1)^n)^2=4^n-2(-2)^n+1$, split up the summation as
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{4^n}{11^n}-2sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(-2)^n}{11^n}+sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{1}{11^n}.$$
These are just geometric series, so you can apply the formula
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty} x^n=frac{x}{1-x}.$$

For $|p|<1$, $sum_{n=1}^{infty}p^n=frac{p}{1-p}$, so
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(2^n+(-1)^n)^2}{11^n}=sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{4^n}{11^n}+2sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{(-2)^n}{11^n}+sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{1}{11^n}\
= frac{frac{4}{11}}{1-frac{4}{11}}-2frac{frac{2}{11}}{1+frac{2}{11}}+frac{frac{1}{11}}{1-frac{1}{11}}\=frac{4}{7}-frac{4}{13}+frac{1}{10}=frac{331}{910}$$
