∑∞n=1(4n2+4n+3−9−n+24n+1)
Solution
To determine their value, we must check if the series is a convergent series.
∑∞n=14n2+4n+3−∑∞n=19−n+24n+1
We need to find the values for each part of the series. So we will begin with the telescoping series:
∑∞n=14n2+4n+3
=4∑∞n=11n2+4n+3
Resolve into partial fractions
4∑∞n=11n2+4n+3=An+1+Bn+3
=12∑∞n=1(1n+1−1n+3)
The partial sums for this is:
Sn=12[(12−14)+(13−15)
+(14−16)+(15−17)
+(16−18)+...+(1n−2−1n)
+(1n−1−1n+1)+(1n−1n+2)+(1n+1−1n+3)
limn→∞Sn=12[12+13+1n−1−1n+3]
=12(56)=512
Therefore, this a convergent series.
Now, we solve for the second series.
∑∞n=19−n+24n+1
=∑∞n=19−(n−2)4n+1
∑∞n=14n+19n−2
=∑∞n=14n−1.429n−1.9−1
∑∞n=1144(49)n−1
Using Sn=a1−r=1441−49=12965
This is also a convergent series.
Hence we conclude, the sum of the series is convergent since each series is a convergent series and
∑∞n=1(4n2+4n+3−9−n+24n+1)=512−12965
