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)
