Q. If a sequence or series is not a direct form of an A.P, G.P etc., then its nth term cannot be determined. In such cases, we use the following steps to find the nth term Tn of the given sequence.
Step 1: Find the differences between the successive terms of the given sequence.If these differences are in A.P, then take Tn=an2+bn+c, where a,b,c are constants.
Step 2: If the successive differences finding in step1 are in G.P with common ratio r, then take Tn=a+bn+crn−1, where a,b,c are constants.
Step 3: If the second successive differences (Differences of the differences) in step1 are in A.P, then take Tn=an3+bn2+cn+d, where a,b,c,d are constants.
Step 4: If the second successive differences(Differences of the differences) in step1 are in G.P, then take Tn=an2+bn+c+drn−1, where a,b,c,d are constants.
Now let sequences be:
A:1,6,18,40,75,126,...
On the basis of above information, answer the following questions:
If the
nth term
Tn of the sequence
A is
an3+bn2+cn+d, then
6a+2b−d is:
