序列可以定义为给定序列的所有数字之和。序列是无限的。同样,级数也可以是有限的或无限的。例如,考虑一个序列为1、3、5、7…,那么这些项的序列将为1 + 3 + 5 + 7 +…。 。以某种方式特殊的系列称为特殊系列。以下是特殊系列的三种类型。
- 1 + 2 + 3 +…+ n(前n个自然数之和)
- 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 +…+ n 2 (前n个自然数的平方和)
- 1 3 + 2 3 + 3 3 +…+ n 3 (前n个自然数的立方的总和)
在本文中,我们将看到如何获得所有这些系列的公式。
特殊系列1:前n个自然数之和
该系列的结果如下:
1+ 2 + 3 + 4 + …. + n = n (n + 1) / 2
证明:
Let Sn = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + … + n
We can see that this is an Arithmetic Progression with the first term (a) = 1 and common difference (d) =1 and there are n term
So, Sum of n terms = n/2 (2 x a + (n – 1) x d)
Putting the values for this series we will get
Sn = n/2(2 x 1 + (n – 1) x 1)
Sn = n/2(2 + n – 1)
Sn = n(n + 1)/2
Hence Proved.

问题。找到以下系列的总和3 + 4 + 5 — + 25?
解决方案:
Let Sn = 3+ 4 + 5 — + 25
Now we can also write it like this
Sn + 1 + 2 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 —- + 25
Clearly now it is the sum of first 25 natural number we can be written like this
Sn + 1+ 2 = 25 (25 + 1) / 2
Sn = 325 – 1 – 2
Sn = 322
特殊系列2:前n个自然数的平方和
该系列的结果如下:
12 + 22 + 32 +… + n2 = n(n + 1) (2n + 1)/6
证明:
Let Sn = 12 + 22 + 32 +… + n2 —eq 1
We know that, k3 – (k – 1)3 = 3k2 – 3k + 1 — eq 2
We know that, (a – b)3 = a3 – b3 – 3a2b + 3ab2
So, k3 – (k – 1)3
= k3 – k3 +1 + 3k2 – 3k
= 3k2 – 3k +1
Putting k = 1, 2…, n successively in eq 2, we obtain
13 – 03 = 3(1)2 – 3(1) + 1
23 – 13 = 3(2)2 – 3(2) + 1
33 – 23 = 3(3)2 – 3(3) + 1

………………………………..
n3 – (n – 1)3= 3(n)2 – 3(n) + 1
Adding both sides of all above equations, we get
n3 – 03 = 3 (12 + 22 + 32 + … + n2) – 3 (1 + 2 + 3 + … + n) + n
We can write this like:
n3 = 3 ∑(k2) – 3∑(k) +n, where 1 ≤ k ≤ n — eq(3)
We know that,
∑(k) (where 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 — n = n(n + 1)/2 —eq(4)
and eq 1 can also be written like this
Sn = ∑(k2), where 1 ≤ k ≤ n — eq(1)
Now, putting these values in eq 3
n3 = 3Sn – 3(n)(n + 1)/ 2 + n
n3 + 3 (n) (n + 1)/2 – n = 3Sn
(2n3 + 3n2 + 3n – 2n)/2 = 3Sn
(2n3 + 3n2 + n)/6 = Sn
n(2n2 + 3n + 1)/6 = Sn
n(2n2 + n + 2n + 1)/6 = Sn
n(n(2n + 1) + 1(2n + 1))/6 = Sn
n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6 = Sn
Sn = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6
Hence proved.

问题1.找到第n个项为n 2 + n + 1的级数的n个项之和?
解决方案:
Given that ,
an = n2 + n + 1
Thus, the sum to n terms is given by
Sn = ∑ak (where 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) = ∑ k2 + ∑ k + ∑1 (where 1 ≤ k ≤ n)
= n(n + 1) (2n + 1)/6 + n (n + 1)/2 + n
= (n(n + 1) (2n + 1) + 3n(n + 1) + 6n)/6
= ((n2+ n) (2n + 1) + 3n2 + 3n + 6n)/6
= (2n3 + 2n2 + n2 + n + 3n2 + 9n)/6
= (2n3 + 6n2 + 10n)/6
问题2。找到最多n个项的以下系列的总和1 +1 + 2 +1 +1 2 2 + 3 +1 + 2 +1 3 + 4 +-?
解决方案:
If we observe the series carefully we can write it like this
Sn =(1) + (1 + 2) + (1 + 2 + 3) + (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) + ——
We can say that we have to find sum of the sum of first n natural number.
So we can write Sn= Σ((i(i + 1))/2), where 1 ≤ i ≤ n
= (1/2)Σ (i(i + 1))
= (1/2)Σ (i2 + i)
= (1/2)(Σ i2 + Σ i)
We know Σ i2 = n (n + 1) (2n + 1) / 6 and
Σ i = n (n + 1) / 2.
Substituting the value, we get,
Sum = (1/2)((n(n + 1)(2n + 1) / 6) + (n( n + 1) / 2))
= n(n + 1)/2 [(2n + 1)/6 + 1/2]
= n(n + 1)(n + 2) / 6
特殊系列3:前n个自然数的立方和
该系列的结果如下:
13 + 23 + 33 + … + n3 = (n (n + 1)/2)2
证明:
Let Sn = 13 + 23 + 33 +… + n3 —eq 1
We know that, (k + 1)4 – (k)4 = 4k3 + 6k2 + 4k + 1 — eq 2
We know that, (a+b)4 = (a2 +b2 +2ab)2
= a4 + b4 + 6a2b2 + 4a3b + 4ab3
So, (k + 1)4 – (k)4
= k4 + 1 + 6k2 + 4k3 + 4k- k4
= 4k3 +6k2 + 4k +1
Putting k = 1, 2…, n successively in eq 2 , we obtain
(1 + 1)4 – 14 = 4(1)3 + 6(1)2 + 4(1) + 1
(2 + 1)4 – 24 = 4(2)3 + 6(2)2 + 4(2) + 1
…………………………………
…………………………………
………………………………..
(n + 1)4 – (n)4 = 4(n)3 + 6n2 + 4n + 1
Adding both sides of all the above equations, we get
(n + 1)4 – 14 = 4 (13 + 23+ 33 + … + n3) + 6(12 + 22+ 32 + 42 + 52) + 4 (1 + 2 + 3 + … + n) + n
We can write this like:
(n + 1)4 – 14 = 4 ∑ (k3) + 6∑(k2) + 4∑(k) + n where 1 ≤ k ≤ n — eq(3)
We know that ,
∑(k) (where 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 — n = n (n + 1)/2 —eq(4)
∑(k2) (where 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) = 12 + 22 + 32 + 42 — n2 = n (n + 1) (2n + 1)/6 —eq(5)
and eq 1 can also be written like this
Sn = ∑(k3) , where 1 ≤ k ≤ n — eq(1)
Now, putting these values in eq 3
(n + 1)4 -14 = 4Sn+ 6(n) (n + 1) (2n + 1)/6 + 4 (n) (n + 1)/2 + n
n4 + 6n2 + 4n3 + 4n – (n)(2n2 + 3n + 1) – 2(n)(n + 1) – n = 4Sn
n4 + 6n2 + 4n3 + 4n – 2n3 – 3n2 – n – 2n2 – 2n – n = 4Sn
n4 + n2 + 2n3 = 4Sn
n2 (n2 + 1 + 2n) = 4Sn
n2 (n + 1)2 = 4Sn
Sn = (n(n + 1)/2)2
Hence proved.

问题。找到以下分数的值(1 3 + 2 3 + 3 3 — + 9 3 )/(1 + 2 + 3 — + 9)?
解决方案:
Sum of first n natural number : n(n + 1)/2
Sum of cube of first n natural number : (n(n + 1)/2)2
So, (13 + 23 + 33 —-+ n3) / (1+ 2+ 3 —- +n)
= ((n(n + 1)/2)2) / (n(n + 1)/2)
= n(n + 1)/2
Now as we can see that value of n is 9 in the question,
= 9 (9 + 1) / 2
= 9 x 5
= 45
