1. State the result from part (a), finding the expression for the sum by the method of differences.
First, evaluate the expression established in part (a):
f(r)−f(r+1)=5r−1r−5rr+1=5r5r−(r+1)=5r4r−1
∑r=2n5r4r−1=f(2)−f(n+1)=52−5nn+1
2. Apply an index substitution to match the denominator in the target sum with part (a).
Let k=r+1. When r=1, k=2; when r=n, k=n+1.
∑r=1n5r+14r+6=∑k=2n+15k4(k−1)+6=∑k=2n+15k4k+2
3. Split the modified sum into a term resembling part (a) and a separate term.
∑k=2n+15k4k+2=∑k=2n+15k4k−1+3=∑k=2n+15k4k−1+∑k=2n+15k3
4. Evaluate the first summation using the result from part (a).
Replacing n with n+1 in the result derived in part (a):
∑k=2n+15k4k−1=f(2)−f(n+2)=52−5n+1n+2
5. Evaluate the second summation as a finite geometric series.
The series ∑k=2n+15k3 is a geometric progression with first term a=253, common ratio r=51, and n terms.
Sn=1−51253(1−(51)n)=54253(1−5n1)=203(1−5n1)
6. Combine the parts and simplify algebraically to obtain a single expression.
Summing the evaluations together:
Total sum=52−5n+1n+2+203−20⋅5n3
Notice that 20⋅5n3=4⋅5⋅5n3=4⋅5n+13. Gather constant terms and terms with 5n+1 in the denominator:
=(52+203)−(4⋅5n+14(n+2)+4⋅5n+13)
=2011−4⋅5n+14n+8+3
=2011−4⋅5n+14n+11
答案\frac{11}{20} - \frac{4n+11}{4 \cdot 5^{n+1}}
