For a sequence Sn = 4(7n – 1), verify whether the sequence is a G.P.

योग

उत्तर

Sn = 4(7n – 1)

∴ Sn–1 = 4(7n–1 – 1)

But, tn = Sn – Sn–1

= 4(7n – 1) – 4(7n–1 – 1)

= 4(7n – 1– 7n– 1 + 1)

= 4(7n–1+1 – 7n–1)

= 4.7n–1 (7 – 1)

∴ tn = 24.7n–1

∴ tn+1 = 24(7)n+1–1

= 24(7)n

The sequence (tn) is a G.P., if `("t"_("n" + 1))/"t"_"n"` = constant for all n ∈ N.

∴ `("t"_("n" + 1))/"t"_"n" = (24(7)^"n")/(24(7)^("n" - 1)` 

= 7 = constant, for all n ∈ N

∴ the sequence is a G.P.
