Let Tn be defined as the sum to n terms of the series T. Find T34 T=288−287−286−285.......
254
255
256
234-1
T1=288 T2=288−287=287(2−1)=287 T3=288−287−286=286(22−21−1)=286 Thus, the pattern is Tn=289−n Answer is T34=255
If nth term of the series 1 + 5 + 12 + 22 + 35 .........can be written as Tn = an2 + bn + c Find the sum of the 16 terms of the series.
