====== Question 19 and 20, Exercise 4.7 ====== Solutions of Question 19 and 20 of Exercise 4.7 of Unit 04: Sequence and Series. This is unit of Model Textbook of Mathematics for Class XI published by National Book Foundation (NBF) as Federal Textbook Board, Islamabad, Pakistan. =====Question 19===== Sum the series up to $n$ term: $1^{3}+3^{3}+5^{3}+$ ** Solution. ** Take $1+3+5+\ldots$.\\ This is A.P with kth term $a_k=1+(k-1)(2)=1+2k-2=2k-1$. \\ Now consider this to make kth term of given series by just taking square. Consider $T_k$ represents the $k$th term of the sereies, then \begin{align*}T_k&=(2k-1) \\ &=9k^2-6k+1. \end{align*} Taking summation, we have \begin{align*}\sum_{k=1}^{n} T_{k} &= \sum_{k=1}^{n} (2k - 1)\\ & = 2 \sum_{k=1}^{n} k - \sum_{k=1}^{n} 1 \\ & = 2\left( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right) - n \\ & = n(n+1)= n \\ & = n^2 \end{align*} Thus, the sum of the series is $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n} T_{k} = n^2.$ =====Question 20===== Sum the series up to $n$ term: $2+5+10+17+\ldots$ to $n$ terms. ** Solution. ** Given: \begin{align*}&2+5+10+17\ldots\\ & (1^2+1)+(2^2+1)+(3^2+1)+(4^2+1)+\ldots\\ &(k^2+1)\end{align*} Consider $T_k$ represents the $k$th term of the sereies, then \begin{align*}T_k&=k^2+1 \end{align*} Taking summation, we have \begin{align*}\sum_{k=1}^{n} T_{k} &= \sum_{k=1}^{n} (k^2 + 1)\\ & = \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 + \sum_{k=1}^{n} 1 \\ & = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} + n \\ & = \frac{n}{6}\left((n+1)(2n+1) + 6\right) \\ & = \frac{n}{6}\left(2n^2+3n+1 + 6\right) \\ & = \frac{n}{6}\left(2n^2+3n+7\right) \end{align*} Thus, the sum of the series is $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n} T_{k} = \dfrac{n}{6}\left(2n^2+3n+7\right) $ ====Go to ==== [[math-11-nbf:sol:unit04:ex4-7-p9|< Question 17 & 18]] [[math-11-nbf:sol:unit04:ex4-7-p11|Question 21 & 22 >]]
