Question

Find the limit of the sequence given by

an=6+10+14+โ€ฆ+(4nโˆ’2)n2 a_n = \frac{6 + 10 + 14 + \ldots + (4n - 2)}{n^2}
(where nโˆˆNโˆ–{0} n \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\} ).

Solution

The given sequence is an arithmetic series with a common difference of 4, divided by n^2.

The sum of an arithmetic series can be found using the formula: S_n = n/2 * (a_1 + a_n), where a_1 is the first term and a_n is the last term.

In this case, a_1 = 6 and a_n = 4n - 2.

So, S_n = n/2 * (6 + 4n - 2) = 2n^2 + 2n - n = 2n^2 + n.

The nth term of the sequence a_n is then S_n / n^2 = (2n^2 + n) / n^2 = 2 + 1/n.

The limit of the sequence as n approaches infinity is then the limit of 2 + 1/n as n approaches infinity, which is 2.

So, the limit of the sequence is 2.
