The general solution takes the form: a_n = A(1)^n + Bleft(frac32right)^n$$a_n = A(1)^n + B\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^n$$ ### Step 1: Evaluating Sequence Parameters Using boundary conditions: For n = 0 implies A + B = 0$n = 0 \implies A + B = 0$ For n = 1 implies A + frac32B = frac12$n = 1 \implies A + \frac{3}{2}B = \frac{1}{2}$ Solving this simple linear system gives B = 1$B = 1$ and A = -1$A = -1$. Thus, the explicit sequence formula is: a_n = -1 + left(frac32right)^n$$a_n = -1 + \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^n$$ ### Step 2: Summing the Target Range sum_k = 1^100 a_k = sum_k = 1^100 (-1) + sum_k = 1^100 left(frac32right)^k$$\sum_{k = 1}^{100} a_k = \sum_{k = 1}^{100} (-1) + \sum_{k = 1}^{100} \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^k$$ = -100 + fracfrac32left[left(frac32right)^100 - 1right]frac32 - 1 = -100 + 3left[left(frac32right)^100 - 1right]$$= -100 + \frac{\frac{3}{2}\left[\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{100} - 1\right]}{\frac{3}{2} - 1} = -100 + 3\left[\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{100} - 1\right]$$ = 3a_100 - 100$$= 3a_{100} - 100$$ ### Pattern Recognition Characteristic roots directly decouple second-order linear loop progressions into basic combinations of clean geometric progressions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Sequences and Series

### Core Logic The general term T_r$T_r$ of the series can be written as: T_r = frac4rr^4 + 3r^2 + 4$$T_r = \frac{4r}{r^4 + 3r^2 + 4}$$ Let's factorize the denominator by completing the square metric: r^4 + 3r^2 + 4 = (r^4 + 4r^2 + 4) - r^2 = (r^2 + 2)^2 - r^2$$r^4 + 3r^2 + 4 = (r^4 + 4r^2 + 4) - r^2 = (r^2 + 2)^2 - r^2$$ Using the difference of squares identity A^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)$A^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)$: r^4 + 3r^2 + 4 = (r^2 - r + 2)(r^2 + r + 2)$$r^4 + 3r^2 + 4 = (r^2 - r + 2)(r^2 + r + 2)$$ ### Step 1: Partial Fraction Decomposition Express T_r$T_r$ using partial fractions split: T_r = frac4r(r^2 - r + 2)(r^2 + r + 2) = 2 left[ frac1r^2 - r + 2 - frac1r^2 + r + 2 right]$$T_r = \frac{4r}{(r^2 - r + 2)(r^2 + r + 2)} = 2 \left[ \frac{1}{r^2 - r + 2} - \frac{1}{r^2 + r + 2} \right]$$ Notice that if we define V(r) = r^2 - r + 2$V(r) = r^2 - r + 2$, then V(r+1) = (r+1)^2 - (r+1) + 2 = r^2 + 2r + 1 - r - 1 + 2 = r^2 + r + 2$V(r+1) = (r+1)^2 - (r+1) + 2 = r^2 + 2r + 1 - r - 1 + 2 = r^2 + r + 2$.
