Problem

(a) The first, second and third terms of an arithmetic progression are 4k4k, k2k^2 and 8k8k respectively, where kk is a non-zero constant.

(i) Find the value of kk.

[2]

(ii) Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the progression.

[3]

(b) The fourth and sixth terms of a geometric progression are 36 and 6 respectively. The common ratio of the progression is positive.

Find the sum to infinity of the progression. Give your answer in the form ab−c\frac{a}{\sqrt{b} - c}, where aa, bb and cc are integers.

题目中文翻译

(a) 一个等差数列的第一项、第二项和第三项分别为 4k4k、k2k^2 和 8k8k,其中 kk 是非零常数。

(i) 求 kk 的值。

[2]

(ii) 求该数列前 20 项的和。

[3]

(b) 一个等比数列的第 4 项和第 6 项分别为 36 和 6。该数列的公比为正。

求该数列的无穷和。答案写成 ab−c\frac{a}{\sqrt{b} - c} 的形式,其中 aa、bb、cc 为整数。

解答

(a)(i)

解法一

思路

展开

等差数列的中项等于两端的平均。利用 k≠0k\ne0 排除零根。

答题过程

展开

We have 2k2=4k+8k2k^2=4k+8k, so 2k(k−6)=02k(k-6)=0. Since k≠0k\ne0, it follows that k=6k=6.

(a)(ii)

思路

展开

代入 k=6k=6 得到首项和公差,再用等差数列的求和公式。

答题过程

展开

The first three terms are 2424, 3636 and 4848, so the common difference is 1212. The required sum is

S20=202(2(24)+19(12))=2760.S_{20}=\frac{20}{2}\bigl(2(24)+19(12)\bigr)=2760.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

第六项比第四项多乘两次公比。由这两项求出正公比,再退回首项并求无穷和。

答题过程

展开

With first term uu and common ratio rr, we have ur3=36ur^3=36 and ur5=6ur^5=6. Dividing gives r2=1/6r^2=1/6. Since r>0r>0, r=1/6r=1/\sqrt6 and u=36/r3=2166u=36/r^3=216\sqrt6. This ratio is less than 11, so the sum to infinity is

21661−1/6=12966−1.\frac{216\sqrt6}{1-1/\sqrt6} =\frac{1296}{\sqrt6-1}.
