Find the 20th term and the sum of 20 terms of the series :
2 × 4 + 4 × 6 + 6 × 8 + ……………..
Given: 2 × 4 + 4 × 6 + 6 × 8 + ……………..
The nth term would be from given series 2n × (2n + 2)
The general term would be from given series 2r × (2r + 2)
Thus 20th term be 2(20) {2(20) + 2} = 40 × 42 = 1680
Summation=1st term + 2nd term + …… + 20th term
= 2 × 4 + 4 × 6 + 6 × 8 + …… 40 × 42 (1)
We know
Thus
From (1) we have
Summation =
We know by property that:
∑axn + bxn - 1 + cxn - 2…….d0=a∑xn + b∑xn - 1 + c∑xn - 2…….. + d0∑1
Thus,
(2)
We know
Thus
Thus substituting in above equation in (2)
=4(10)(7)(41) + 4(10)(21)
=12320
