Problem
(i) Find the value of
r=1∑∞6(0.25)r
(3)
(ii) A sequence u1,u2,u3,… is defined by
u1=3,un+1=un−2un−3n∈N
(a) Show that this sequence is periodic.
(2)
(b) State the order of this sequence.
(1)
(c) Hence find
n=1∑70un

解答
(i)

这是无穷等比级数。注意第一项从 r=1 开始,所以第一项是 6(0.25),不是 6。
答题过程
展开
The first term is
6(0.25)=1.5.
The common ratio is
r=0.25.
So
S∞====1−ra1−0.251.50.751.52.
(ii)(a)

只要算出若干项后发现回到 u1=3,后面就会重复同样的循环。
答题过程
展开
Given u1=3,
u2=u3=u4===3−23−3=0,0−20−3=23,23−223−3−21−233.
Since u4=u1, the sequence repeats:
3, 0, 23, 3, 0, 23,…
Therefore, the sequence is periodic.
(ii)(b)
解法一
思路
展开
循环的基本长度是 3,0,23,所以阶数是 3。
答题过程
展开
The sequence repeats every 3 terms.
Therefore, the order is
3.
(ii)(c)
解法一
思路
展开
每 3 项一组,和是 3+0+23=29。70=23×3+1,所以有 23 组完整循环,再多一个第一项 3。
答题过程
展开
One full cycle has sum
3+0+23=29.
Also,
70=23×3+1.
Therefore,
n=1∑70un====23(29)+32207+32213106.5.
