Ex9.3, 11 Introduction (2 + 3k) At k = 1, 2 + 31 At k = 2, 2 + 32 .. ⦠ā¦. At k = 11, 2 + 311 Ex9.3, 11 We calculate (31 + 32 + 33 + ⦠+ 311) separately In 31 + 32 + 33 + ⦠+ 311 32/31 = 3 & 33/32 = 3 Thus, (šššššš š”ššš)/(š¹ššš š” š”ššš) = (šāššš š”ššš)/(šššššš š”ššš) i.e. common ratio is same Thus, it is a G.P. First term = a = 3 Common ratio = 3^2/3^1 = 3 Since, r > 1 ā“ Sn = (š(š^š ā 1))/(š ā 1) where Sn = sum of n terms of GP n is the number of terms a is the first term & r is the common ratio ā“ Sn = (š(š^š ā 1))/(š ā 1) Putting values a = 3 , r = 3, n = 11 S11 = (3[311ā1])/(3 ā 1) S11 =(3[311ā1])/2 Hence 31 + 32 + ⦠+ 311 = (3[311ā1])/2 From (1) Putting 31 + 32 + ⦠+ 311 = (3[311ā1])/2 = 22 + (3(311 ā 1))/2 =22 + 3/2(311 ā1) Therefore,
