Sagot :

Certainly! Let's answer each part of Exercise 8.2 in detail:

### 1. (a) Define sequence with a suitable example.
In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters. For example, a sequence could be [tex]\(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, \ldots\)[/tex]. Here, each number follows the previous one in a specific order and the order in which they appear is important.

### 1. (b) What is the difference between sequence and series?
A sequence is a list of numbers arranged in a specific order. For example, the sequence [tex]\(1, 2, 3, 4, 5\)[/tex].

A series, on the other hand, refers to the sum of the elements of a sequence. For example, the series [tex]\(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5\)[/tex].

### 2. Identify sequence and series from the given expressions:

(a) [tex]\(3, 6, 9, 12, 15, \ldots\)[/tex]
- This is a sequence.
- Sequence: [tex]\([3, 6, 9, 12, 15]\)[/tex].

(b) [tex]\(2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + \ldots\)[/tex]
- This is a series.
- Series: [tex]\([2, 4, 6, 8, 10]\)[/tex].

(c) [tex]\(4, 2, 1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}\)[/tex]
- This is a sequence.
- Sequence: [tex]\([4, 2, 1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}]\)[/tex].

(d) [tex]\(\sum_{n=1}^3(3 n+1)\)[/tex]
- This is a series formed by the sum of an expression evaluated over a range.
- Series: [tex]\([\ (3 \cdot 1 + 1), (3 \cdot 2 + 1), (3 \cdot 3 + 1)] = [4, 7, 10]\)[/tex].

(e) [tex]\(1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + \ldots\)[/tex]
- This is a series.
- Series: [tex]\([1, 4, 9, 16]\)[/tex].

(f) [tex]\(\frac{1}{5}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{11}, \frac{7}{14}\)[/tex]
- This is a sequence.
- Sequence: [tex]\([0.2, 0.375, 0.45454545454545453, 0.5]\)[/tex].

### 3. Find the value of:

(a) [tex]\(\sum_{n=0}^4(2 n-1)\)[/tex]
- Sum: 15.

(b) [tex]\(\sum_{n=2}^6(3 n+2)\)[/tex]
- Sum: 70.

(c) [tex]\(\sum_{n=1}^5(n^2+1)\)[/tex]
- Sum: 60.

(d) [tex]\(\sum_{n=1}^3(n^2+2 n+1)\)[/tex]

(f) [tex]\(\sum_{n=5}^{10} n^2\)[/tex]

(g) [tex]\(\sum_{n=3}^8(n^2-2)\)[/tex]
- Sum: 187.

(h) [tex]\(\sum_{n=1}^5 \frac{2n+1}{n}\)[/tex]
- Sum: 12.283333333333333.

(i) [tex]\(\sum_{n=0}^4 \frac{n}{n+1}\)[/tex]
- Sum: 2.716666666666667.

### 4. Write the given series using symbol [tex]\(\sum\)[/tex]:

(a) [tex]\(5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + \ldots + 21\)[/tex]
- Series: [tex]\(\sum_{n=0}^{8}(5 + 2n)\)[/tex].

(b) [tex]\(2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12\)[/tex]
- Series: [tex]\(\sum_{n=1}^{6}(2n)\)[/tex].

- Series: [tex]\(\sum_{n=0}^{4}(ab^n)\)[/tex].
