### Related Formula textSophie Germain's algebraic factorization: 1 + 4r^4 = (2r^2 + 2r + 1)(2r^2 - 2r + 1) textTelescoping Series representation: T_r = f(r) - f(r+1) ### Core Logic This is a telescoping series sum. We expand the denominator using Sophie Germain's algebraic identity to write the general term as a difference of two consecutive rational expressions. ### Step 1: Write down the general term and factor The general term T_r of the series is: T_r = frac4r1 + 4r^4 Using the factorization of 1+4r^4: T_r = frac4r(2r^2 - 2r + 1)(2r^2 + 2r + 1) Notice that the numerator 4r is the exact difference of the two quadratic factors: (2r^2 + 2r + 1) - (2r^2 - 2r + 1) = 4r ### Step 2: Split the fraction into telescoping terms Rewrite the general term T_r: T_r = frac(2r^2 + 2r + 1) - (2r^2 - 2r + 1)(2r^2 - 2r + 1)(2r^2 + 2r + 1) T_r = frac12r^2 - 2r + 1 - frac12r^2 + 2r + 1 = f(r) - f(r+1) ### Step 3: Expand the sum and solve Sum the first 10 terms: - For r = 1: T_1 = frac11 - frac15 - For r = 2: T_2 = frac15 - frac113 - ... - For r = 10: T_10 = frac1181 - frac1221 All intermediate terms cancel out: S_10 = 1 - frac1221 = frac220221 = fracmn Since 220 and 221 are coprime (their greatest common divisor is 1): m = 220 quad textand quad n = 221 m + n = 220 + 221 = 441 ### Pattern Recognition Sophie Germain identity: The expansion 4r^4 + 1 = (2r^2 - 2r + 1)(2r^2 + 2r + 1) is highly common in telescoping series. Spotting this factorization collapses the sum instantly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Sequences and Series

Solution

### Related Formula Sum of first r odd natural numbers: sum_k=1^r (2k-1) = r^2 Exponential series expansion: sum_r=0^infty frac1r! = e ### Core Logic Let's find the general r-th term of the series: T_r = frac1 + 3 + 5 + dots + (2r-1)r! = fracr^2r! = fracr(r-1)! ### Step 1: Expressing term in terms of sum limits Let's write r = (r-1) + 1: T_r = fracr-1+1(r-1)! = frac1(r-2)! + frac1(r-1)! Our infinite sum is: S = sum_r=1^infty T_r = sum_r=2^infty frac1(r-2)! + sum_r=1^infty frac1(r-1)! Both sums are standard representations of the exponential expansion. ### Step 2: Summing the parts - First part: sum_r=2^infty frac1(r-2)! = 1 + frac11! + frac12! + dots = e - Second part: sum_r=1^infty frac1(r-1)! = 1 + frac11! + frac12! + dots = e textTotal Sum S = e + e = 2e ### Pattern Recognition The general term containing r^2 in summation with factorials converges to 2e. Remember the shortcut: sum fracr^2r! = 2e, sum fracr^3r! = 5e. It is extremely useful to memorize these common limits. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Sequences and Series Class 12 Mathematics: Limits, Continuity and Differentiability

Solution

### Related Formula For a geometric progression, the terms can be set as a, ar, ar^2, ar^3. For three terms A, B, C to be in arithmetic progression, they must satisfy: 2B = A + C ### Core Logic Let the elements be x_1 = a, x_2 = ar, x_3 = ar^2, x_4 = ar^3. After the specified subtractions, the sequence becomes: a - 2, quad ar - 7, quad ar^2 - 9, quad ar^3 - 5 Since this sequence is in AP, we form two separate common difference linear linkages: 2(ar - 7) = (a - 2) + (ar^2 - 9) implies 2ar - 14 = ar^2 + a - 11 implies ar^2 - 2ar + a + 3 = 0 quad dots (1) 2(ar^2 - 9) = (ar - 7) + (ar^3 - 5) implies 2ar^2 - 18 = ar^3 + ar - 12 implies ar^3 - 2ar^2 + ar + 6 = 0 quad dots (2) ### Step 1: Solve the Simultaneous Polynomials Multiply equation (1) by r: ar^3 - 2ar^2 + ar + 3r = 0 quad dots (3) Subtract equation (3) from equation (2): (ar^3 - 2ar^2 + ar + 6) - (ar^3 - 2ar^2 + ar + 3r) = 0 6 - 3r = 0 implies 3r = 6 implies r = 2 Substitute r = 2 back into equation (1): a(2)^2 - 2a(2) + a + 3 = 0 4a - 4a + a + 3 = 0 implies a = -3 ### Step 2: Find the Continuous Product Value The continuous product term is: mathbfx_1mathbfx_2mathbfx_3mathbfx_4 = a cdot ar cdot ar^2 cdot ar^3 = a^4 r^6 mathbfx_1mathbfx_2mathbfx_3mathbfx_4 = (-3)^4 cdot (2)^6 = 81 times 64 = 5184 Now divide by 24 as required: frac124(5184) = 216 ### Pattern Recognition Notice that multiplying the first AP condition equation by r perfectly mimics the structure of the second condition equation except for the absolute scalar value, allowing direct elimination of all polynomial variable indices simultaneously. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Sequences and Series

Numerical Answer. Answer: 11132 to 11132

Solution

### Related Formula Symmetry identity rule inside Arithmetic Progressions: a_k + a_n-k+1 = a_1 + a_n ### Core Logic Group matching paired steps equidistant from sequence boundary ends: a_1 + a_2024 = a_5 + a_2020 = a_10 + a_2015 = dots The sequence of inner indices follows an AP tracking loop: 5, 10, 15, dots, 2020 Calculate internal block element count N: 2020 = 5 + (N-1)5 implies 2015 = 5(N-1) implies N - 1 = 403 implies N = 404 text terms ### Step 1: Simplify Expression Equations Since the inner sequence contains 404 terms, they form exactly 202 symmetrical pairs. Adding a_1 and a_2024 introduces one more pair, resulting in 203 identical sum blocks: 203(a_1 + a_2024) = 2233 implies a_1 + a_2024 = frac2233203 = 11 ### Step 2: Evaluate the Total Sum Using the standard AP sum formula: S_2024 = frac20242(a_1 + a_2024) = 1012 times 11 = 11132 ### Pattern Recognition Progressions possess natural positional balance. Grouping symmetrical index pairs (a_k + a_n-k+1) allows factoring out variable steps right away. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Sequences and Series
