Sum the following series to n terms :

3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 23 + ………….

Let s=3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 23 + …………. + n


By shifting each term by one


S = 3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 23 + …………. + nth ………(1)


S = 3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + …………. + (n - 1)th + nth ……..(2)


by (1) - (2) we get


0 = 3 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + …….nth - (n - 1)th - n


Nth = 3 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + …….2(n - 1)th


Nth = 3 + 2(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + …….(n - 1)th) ……….(3)


we know



Substituting the above-given value in (3)



nth = 3 + n2 - n


general term = 3 + r2 - r


thus


S = 3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 23 + …………. + nth =


We know by property that:


∑axn + bxn - 1 + cxn - 2…….d0=a∑xn + b∑xn - 1 + c∑xn - 2…….. + d0∑1


(4)


We know





Thus substituting the above values in(4)
