Question Number 33154 by Rio Mike last updated on 11/Apr/18

it is given that Σ_(r=1) ^n  U_n = ((1+3^(2n+2) −2×5^(n+1) )/8)  where U_n  is the n^(th)  term of a sequence  find the simplified expression for U_n

$${it}\:{is}\:{given}\:{that}\:\underset{{r}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}\:{U}_{{n}} =\:\frac{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{5}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} }{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$${where}\:{U}_{{n}} \:{is}\:{the}\:{n}^{{th}} \:{term}\:{of}\:{a}\:{sequence} \\ $$$${find}\:{the}\:{simplified}\:{expression}\:{for}\:{U}_{{n}} \\ $$

we have Σ_(k=1) ^n  u_k = ((1 +3^(2n+2) −2 . 5^(n+1) )/8) also  Σ_(k=1) ^(n−1)  u_k = ((1+3^(2n)  −2 .5^n )/8) ⇒  u_1  +u_2  +.....+u_n  −u_1  −u_2  −...−u_(n−1)   = ((1+3^(2n+2)  −2.5^(n+1)  −1  −3^(2n)   +2.5^n )/8) ⇒  u_n  = ((3^(2n) (9−1) −8 .5^n )/8)= 9^n  −5^n   u_n =9^n  −5^n   .

$${we}\:{have}\:\sum_{{k}=\mathrm{1}} ^{{n}} \:{u}_{{k}} =\:\frac{\mathrm{1}\:+\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}\:.\:\mathrm{5}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} }{\mathrm{8}}\:{also} \\ $$$$\sum_{{k}=\mathrm{1}} ^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} \:{u}_{{k}} =\:\frac{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}{n}} \:−\mathrm{2}\:.\mathrm{5}^{{n}} }{\mathrm{8}}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$${u}_{\mathrm{1}} \:+{u}_{\mathrm{2}} \:+.....+{u}_{{n}} \:−{u}_{\mathrm{1}} \:−{u}_{\mathrm{2}} \:−...−{u}_{{n}−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{2}} \:−\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{5}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} \:−\mathrm{1}\:\:−\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}{n}} \:\:+\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{5}^{{n}} }{\mathrm{8}}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$${u}_{{n}} \:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}{n}} \left(\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{1}\right)\:−\mathrm{8}\:.\mathrm{5}^{{n}} }{\mathrm{8}}=\:\mathrm{9}^{{n}} \:−\mathrm{5}^{{n}} \\ $$$${u}_{{n}} =\mathrm{9}^{{n}} \:−\mathrm{5}^{{n}} \:\:. \\ $$$$ \\ $$
