%N Expansion of (4+3*x)/(1+3*x).
%C This is the Z-sequence of the Riordan triangle ((1+2*x)/(1-x)^2, x/(1-x)). See A135857.
%C The expansion can be seen as a special case of the family of generating functions 1+1/(x+1/k) for k>=1 which relates this sequence to A054977 and A198633 (neglecting questions of sign). - _Peter Luschny_, Mar 24 2015
