1 Section 5 Arithmetic Progressions Does the series converge or diverge? Solution: Again we apply the three tests. 1. We see that the terms are getting smaller, so this test is not conclusive.. The ratio of the terms appears to approach 1, so this test also is not conclusive. 3. The partial sum S n does not seem to approach a limit, but appears to keep growing even after 495 terms. It thus appears that this series diverges. Exercise 1 Sequences and Series Write the first five terms of each series, given the general term. 1. u n 3n. u n n 3 3. u n n 1 n 4. u n n n Deduce the general term of each series. Use it to predict the next two terms Deduce a recursion relation for each series. Use it to predict the next two terms Arithmetic Progressions Recursion Formula We stated earlier that an arithmetic progression (or AP) is a sequence of terms in which each term after the first equals the sum of the preceding term and a constant, called the common difference, d. If a n is any term of an AP, the recursion formula for an AP is as follows: AP: Recursion Formula a n a n1 d 36 Each term of an AP after the first equals the sum of the preceding term and the common difference.
2 704 Chapter 5 Sequences, Series, and the Binomial Theorem Example 10: The following sequences are arithmetic progressions. The common difference for each is given in parentheses: (a) 1, 5, 9, 13,... (d 4) (b) 0, 30, 40, 50,... (d 10) (c) 75, 70, 65, 60,... (d 5) We see that each series is increasing when d is positive and decreasing when d is negative. General Term For an AP whose first term is a and whose common difference is d, the terms are a, a d, a d, a 3d, a 4d,... We see that each term is the sum of the first term and a multiple of d, where the coefficient of d is one less than the number n of the term. So the nth term a n is given by the following equation: The general term is sometimes called the last term, but this is not an accurate name since the AP continues indefi nitely. AP: General Term a n a (n 1)d 37 The nth term of an AP is found by adding the first term and (n 1) times the common difference. Example 11: Find the twentieth term of an AP that has a first term of 5 and common difference of 4. Solution: By Eq. 37, with a 5, n 0, and d 4, a (4) 81 Of course, Eq. 37 can be used to find any of the four quantities (a, n, d, or a n ) given the other three. Example 1: Write the AP whose eighth term is 19 and whose fifteenth term is 33. Solution: Applying Eq. 37 twice gives 33 a 14d 19 a 7d We now have two equations in two unknowns, which we solve simultaneously. Subtracting the second from the first gives 14 7d, so d. Also, a 33 14d 5, so the general term of our AP is and the AP is then a n 5 (n 1) 5, 7, 9,... AP: Sum of n Terms Let us derive a formula for the sum s n of the first n terms of an AP. Adding term by term gives s n a (a d) (a d ) (a n d ) a n (1)
3 Section 5 Arithmetic Progressions 705 or, written in reverse order, s n a n (a n d) (a n d) (a d) a () Adding Eqs. (1) and () term by term gives s n (a a n ) (a a n ) (a a n ) n(a a n ) Dividing both sides by gives the following formula: AP: Sum of n Terms s n n (a a n) 38 The sum of n terms of an AP is half the product of n and the sum of the first and nth terms. Example 13: Find the sum of 10 terms of the AP, 5, 8, 11,... Solution: From Eq. 37, with a, d 3, and n 10, Then, from Eq. 38, a 10 9(3) 9 10 ( 9) s We get another form of Eq. 38 by substituting the expression for a n from Eq. 37, as follows: AP: Sum of n Terms s n n [a (n 1)d] 39 This form is useful for finding the sum without first computing the nth term. Example 14: We repeat Example 13 without first having to find the tenth term. From Eq. 39, 10 [() 9 (3)] s Sometimes the sum is given and we must find one of the other quantities in the AP.
4 706 Chapter 5 Sequences, Series, and the Binomial Theorem Example 15: How many terms of the AP 5, 9, 13,... give a sum of 75? Solution: We seek n so that s n 75. From Eq. 39, with a 5 and d 4, 75 n [(5) (n 1)4] 5n n (n 1) Removing parentheses and collecting terms gives the quadratic equation n 3n 75 0 From the quadratic formula, n ()(75) 11 or 1.5 () We discard the negative root and get 11 terms as our answer. Arithmetic Means The first term a and the last (nth) term a n of an AP are sometimes called the extremes, while the intermediate terms, a, a 3,..., a n 1, are called arithmetic means. We now show, by example, how to insert any number of arithmetic means between two extremes. Example 16: Insert five arithmetic means between 3 and 9. Solution: Our AP will have seven terms, with a first term of 3 and a seventh term of 9. From Eq. 37, 9 3 6d from which d. The progression is then 3, 1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and the five arithmetic means are 1, 1, 3, 5, and 7. Average Value Let us insert a single arithmetic mean between two numbers. Example 17: Find a single arithmetic mean m between the extremes a and b. Solution: The sequence is a, m, b. The common difference d is m a b m. Solving for m gives m b a Dividing by gives m a b which agrees with the common idea of an average of two numbers as the sum of those numbers divided by. Harmonic Progressions A sequence is called a harmonic progression if the reciprocals of its terms form an arithmetic progression. Example 18: The sequence 1 1, 3, 1 5, 1 7, 1 9, 1 11,... is a harmonic progression because the reciprocals of the terms, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11,..., form an AP.
5 Section 5 Arithmetic Progressions 707 It is not possible to derive an equation for the nth term or for the sum of a harmonic progression. However, we can solve problems involving harmonic progressions by taking the reciprocals of the terms and using the formulas for the AP. Example 19: Find the tenth term of the harmonic progression, 3, 5,... Solution: We write the reciprocals of the terms, 1, 3, 5,... and note that they form an AP with a 1 and d 1. The tenth term of the AP is then a n a (n 1)d a 10 1 (10 1)(1) 19 The tenth term of the harmonic progression is the reciprocal of 19, or 19. Harmonic Means To insert harmonic means between two terms of a harmonic progression, we simply take the reciprocals of the given terms, insert arithmetic means between those terms, and take reciprocals again. Example 0: Insert three harmonic means between and. 9 Solution: Taking reciprocals, our AP is 9,,,, 1 In this AP, a 9, n 5, and a 1. We can find the common difference d from the equation 5 a n a (n 1)d 1 9 4d 4 4d d 1 Having the common difference, we can fill in the missing terms of the AP, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1 Taking reciprocals again, our harmonic progression is 9, 7, 5, 3,

Thus if a n is any term of a GP, the recursion relation is as follows: GP: Recursion Formula a n ra n1 40 Each term of a GP after the first equals the product of the preceding term and the common ratio.
