2019 Q17

The first three terms of a sequence are given by
5x+8, 2x+1, x4\displaystyle 5x + 8,\ -2x + 1,\ x - 4

(a)When x=11\displaystyle x = 11, show that the first three terms form the start of a geometric sequence, and state the value of the common ratio.

(b)Given that the entire sequence is geometric for x=11\displaystyle x = 11
(i) state why the associated series has a sum to infinity
(ii) calculate this sum to infinity.

(c)There is a second value for x\displaystyle x that also gives a geometric sequence.
For this second sequence
(i) show that x28x33=0\displaystyle x^2 - 8x - 33 = 0
(ii) find the first three terms
(iii) state the value of S2n\displaystyle S_{2n} and justify your answer.

Show answer
(a) Terms are 63, -21, 7. Ratios are 2163=13\displaystyle \frac{-21}{63} = -\frac{1}{3} and 721=13.\displaystyle \frac{7}{-21} = -\frac{1}{3}. Common ratio is r=13.\displaystyle r = -\frac{1}{3}.
(b)(i) The sum to infinity exists because 13<1.\displaystyle \left| -\frac{1}{3} \right| < 1.
(b)(ii) 1894\displaystyle \frac{189}{4} or 47.25\displaystyle 47.25
(c)(i) Equating ratios 2x+15x+8=x42x+1\displaystyle \frac{-2x+1}{5x+8} = \frac{x-4}{-2x+1} leads to x28x33=0.\displaystyle x^2-8x-33=0.
(c)(ii) x=3\displaystyle x = -3, giving terms -7, 7, -7.
(c)(iii) S2n=0\displaystyle S_{2n} = 0 because 2n\displaystyle 2n is an even number of terms, and the pairs cancel each other out.

Question 17(a)

•¹ substitute and calculate one ratio
2163=13\displaystyle \frac{-21}{63} = -\frac{1}{3} or 721=13\displaystyle \frac{7}{-21} = -\frac{1}{3}

•² calculate second ratio and state common ratio
721=13\displaystyle \frac{7}{-21} = -\frac{1}{3} or 2163=13\displaystyle \frac{-21}{63} = -\frac{1}{3} so r=13\displaystyle r = -\frac{1}{3}

Question 17(b)(i)

•³ state condition
13<1\displaystyle |-\frac{1}{3}| < 1

Question 17(b)(ii)

•⁴ begin to substitute
631(13)\displaystyle \frac{63}{1 - (-\frac{1}{3})}

•⁵ calculate sum
1894\displaystyle \frac{189}{4} or 47.25\displaystyle 47.25

Question 17(c)(i)

•⁶ equate ratios
2x+15x+8=x42x+1\displaystyle \frac{-2x+1}{5x+8} = \frac{x-4}{-2x+1}

•⁷ perform algebraic manipulation leading to formation of quadratic equation
x28x33=0\displaystyle x^2 - 8x - 33 = 0

Question 17(c)(ii)

•⁸ calculate second value of x
x=3\displaystyle x = -3

•⁹ find first three terms
7,7,7\displaystyle -7, 7, -7

Question 17(c)(iii)

•¹⁰ state S2n\displaystyle S_{2n} and justify
0\displaystyle 0 since eg 2n\displaystyle 2n is even and so pairs of terms cancel each other out.
