Question

数列an的前n项和记为sn,已知a1=1 an+1=（n分之n+2）乘sn（n=1,2,3,...)求证

Answer 1

(1) 由已知有：

S[n+1] = S[n]+a[n+1] = S[n] + (n+2)/n *S[n]

==> S[n+1]/(n+1) = 2S[n]/n

==> { S[n+1]/(n+1)}/{S[n]/n} =2

可知 {S[n]/n} 为公比为2的等比数列；

(2 S[1] =a[1] =1,因此

S[n]/n = (S[1]/1)* 2^(n-1) = 2^(n-1)

==> S[n] = n*2^(n-1)

a[n] = S[n] - S[n-1] = n*2^(n-1) -(n-1)*2^(n-2) = (n+1)*2^(n-2)

S[n+1] = (n+1)*2^n = 4*(n+1)*2^(n-2)

==> S[n+1] = 4a[n]

结论得证
