Maharashtra State Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Sequences and Series Ex 2.5

Question 1.
Find Sn of the following arithmetico-geometric sequences.
(i) 2, 4x, 6x2, 8x3, 10x4, ……
Solution:
2, 4x, 6x2, 8x3, 10x4, ……
Here, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,… are in A.P.
∴ a = 2, d = 2
∴ nth term = a + (n – 1)d
= 2 + (n – 1)(2)
= 2n

(ii) 1, 4x, 7x2, 10x3, 13x4, ……
Solution:
1, 4x, 7x2, 10x3, 13x4, ……
Here, 1, 4, 7, 10, 13,… are in A.P.
a = 1, d = 3
∴ nth term = a + (n – 1)d
= 1 + (n – 1)(3)
= 3n – 2
Also, 1, x, x2, x3,… are in G.P.
∴ a = 1, r = x,
nth term = arn-1 = xn-1
nth term of arithmetico-geometric sequence is
