Question

Problem

(a) Use the standard results for summations to show that

r=1n(2r1)2=n3(An2+B)\sum_{r=1}^{n} (2r - 1)^2 = \frac{n}{3}(An^2 + B)

where AA and BB are integers to be determined.

(5)

(b) Use the answer to part (a) to determine the value of

252+272+292++95225^2 + 27^2 + 29^2 + \cdots + 95^2

You must make your method clear.

(3)

中文翻译

(a) 使用求和标准公式证明

r=1n(2r1)2=n3(An2+B)\sum_{r=1}^{n} (2r - 1)^2 = \frac{n}{3}(An^2 + B)

其中 AABB 是待确定的整数。

(5)

(b) 利用 (a) 的答案确定

252+272+292++95225^2 + 27^2 + 29^2 + \cdots + 95^2

的值。必须清楚说明方法。

思路

展开

先展开 (2r1)2(2r-1)^2,把原式拆成 4r24r+14\sum r^2-4\sum r+\sum1。代入标准求和公式并提取公因式 n3\frac n3,最后与题目指定形式比较。

Using the standard results for summations,

r=1n(2r1)2=4r=1nr24r=1nr+r=1n1=4[n(n+1)(2n+1)6]4[n(n+1)2]+n=n3[2(n+1)(2n+1)6(n+1)+3]=n3(4n2+6n+26n6+3)=n3(4n21).\begin{align*} \sum_{r=1}^{n}(2r-1)^2 =&\,4\sum_{r=1}^{n}r^2 -4\sum_{r=1}^{n}r +\sum_{r=1}^{n}1\\ =&\,4\left[\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\right]\\ &\,-4\left[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right]+n\\ =&\,\frac{n}{3} \big[2(n+1)(2n+1)-6(n+1)+3\big]\\ =&\,\frac{n}{3} \big(4n^2+6n+2-6n-6+3\big)\\ =&\,\frac{n}{3}(4n^2-1). \end{align*}

Therefore, comparing with n3(An2+B)\dfrac n3(An^2+B),

A=4,B=1.\boxed{A=4,\qquad B=-1}.

(b)

思路

展开

通项中的奇数是 2r12r-1。解 2r1=252r-1=252r1=952r-1=95,确定所求范围是第 13 项至第 48 项,再用“前 48 项之和减去前 12 项之和”。

答题过程

Since

25=2(13)125=2(13)-1

and

95=2(48)1,95=2(48)-1,

the required sum consists of the 13th to the 48th odd squares. Using part (a),

252+272++952=r=148(2r1)2r=112(2r1)2=483[4(48)21]123[4(12)21]=16(9215)4(575)=1474402300=145140.\begin{align*} 25^2+27^2+\cdots+95^2 =&\,\sum_{r=1}^{48}(2r-1)^2 -\sum_{r=1}^{12}(2r-1)^2\\ =&\,\frac{48}{3}\big[4(48)^2-1\big]\\ &\,-\frac{12}{3}\big[4(12)^2-1\big]\\ =&\,16(9215)-4(575)\\ =&\,147440-2300\\ =&\,\boxed{145140}. \end{align*}
