1. Separate the sum into two individual summations and substitute the result from part (a).
∑r=2n(2r1+r(r−1)1)=∑r=2n2r1+∑r=2nr(r−1)1
Using the result from part (a):
∑r=2nr(r−1)1=1−n1
2. Evaluate the first summation as a geometric series.
The series ∑r=2n2r1 is a finite geometric progression.
- First term, a=221=41
- Common ratio, r=21
- Number of terms, N=n−2+1=n−1
Applying the sum formula SN=1−ra(1−rN):
∑r=2n2r1=1−2141(1−(21)n−1)
=2141(1−(21)n−1)
=21(1−(21)n−1)
=21−21(21)n−1=21−(21)n
3. Combine the evaluated parts and simplify.
∑r=2n(2r1+r(r−1)1)=(21−(21)n)+(1−n1)
=23−(21)n−n1
答案\frac{3}{2} - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n - \frac{1}{n}
