Problem

A progression has first term aa and second term a2a+2\frac{a^2}{a + 2}, where aa is a positive constant.

(a) For the case where the progression is geometric and the sum to infinity is 264264, find the value of aa.

[5]

(b) For the case where the progression is arithmetic and a=6a = 6, determine the least value of nn required for the sum of the first nn terms to be less than −480-480.

[5]
题目中文翻译

一个数列的首项为 aa,第二项为 a2a+2\frac{a^2}{a + 2},其中 aa 为正常数。

(a) 当该数列为等比数列且无穷和为 264264 时,求 aa 的值。

[5]

(b) 当该数列为等差数列且 a=6a = 6 时,求使前 nn 项和小于 −480-480 所需的最小 nn 值。

[5]

解答

(a)

用第二项除以首项求公比。a>0a>0 保证公比在 00 与 11 之间。

The common ratio is r=a/(a+2)r=a/(a+2). The sum to infinity is

a1−a/(a+2)= a(a+2)2= 264.\begin{align*} \frac{a}{1-a/(a+2)}=&\,\frac{a(a+2)}2\\ =&\,264. \end{align*}

Therefore a2+2a−528=(a−22)(a+24)=0a^2+2a-528=(a-22)(a+24)=0. Since a>0a>0, a=22a=22.

(b)

求公差后把部分和写成关于 nn 的不等式。题目要求严格小于 −480-480,且 nn 必须是正整数。

With a=6a=6, the second term is 36/8=9/236/8=9/2, so d=−3/2d=-3/2. Hence

Sn= n2(12−32(n−1))= 34n(9−n).\begin{align*} S_n=&\,\frac n2\Big(12-\frac32(n-1)\Big)\\ =&\,\frac34n(9-n). \end{align*}

The inequality Sn<−480S_n<-480 becomes n2−9n−640>0n^2-9n-640>0. For positive nn this requires

n>9+26412≈30.2.n>\frac{9+\sqrt{2641}}2\approx30.2.

The least integer is 3131.
