题目中文翻译
一个等差数列的第一项和第二项分别为 tanθ 和 sinθ,其中 0<θ<21π。
(a) 已知 θ=41π,求该数列前 40 项和的精确值。

一个等比数列的第一项和第二项分别为 tanθ 和 sinθ,其中 0<θ<21π。
(b) (i) 求该数列的无穷和,用 θ 表示。
[2]
(ii) 已知 θ=31π,求该数列前 10 项的和。答案保留 3 位有效数字。

解答
(a)

思路
展开
先求首项和公差。正弦的精确值要保留到求和结束。

The first term is tan(π/4)=1, and the second is sin(π/4)=2/2. Hence d=2/2−1, so
S40==240(2+39(22−1))3902−740.
(b)(i)

等比数列用第二项除以首项求公比。化简后还需检查是否能求无穷和。
答题过程

The common ratio is sinθ/tanθ=cosθ. Since 0<θ<π/2, we have 0<cosθ<1. The sum to infinity is
1−cosθtanθ.
(b)(ii)

思路
展开
代入角度后,首项是 3、公比是 1/2。这里求的是有限项和。
答题过程
展开
At θ=π/3, the first term is 3 and the common ratio is 1/2. Therefore
S10=1−1/23(1−(1/2)10)≈3.46
to three significant figures.
