Answer
Given,
mth term = 2m + 2m
1st term = 21 + 2 × 1
2nd term = 22 + 2 × 2
nth term = 2n + 2 × n
Calculating :
21 + 22 + …….. + 2n
The above is an G.P. with a = 2 and r = 2.
By using formula,
Sn =
Substitute values, we get:
Sn =
= 2(2n - 1)
Calculating :
(1 + 2 + 3 + ….. + n)
The above is an A.P. with a = 1 and d = 1.
By using formula,
Sn = [2a + (n - 1)d]
Substitute values, we get:
Sn = [2(1) + (n - 1)1]
= [2 + n - 1]
= (n + 1).
Substitute values in (1) we get,
Sn = 2(2n - 1) + (n + 1)
= 2(2n - 1) + n(n + 1)
Hence, Sn = 2(2n - 1) + n(n + 1).
