The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the first n terms of the series \((x+y)+(x^2+xy+y^2)+(x^3+x^2y+xy^2+y^3)+...\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the pattern in the series The series can be rewritten as: - The first term is \(x + y\) - The second term is \(x^2 + xy + y^2\) - The third term is \(x^3 + x^2y + xy^2 + y^3\) Each term can be seen as the expansion of \((x+y)^n\) for \(n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots\). ### Step 2: Write the general term The \(n\)-th term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = (x+y)^n \] ### Step 3: Write the sum of the first n terms The sum of the first n terms \(S_n\) can be expressed as: \[ S_n = (x+y)^1 + (x+y)^2 + (x+y)^3 + \ldots + (x+y)^n \] This is a geometric series where: - The first term \(a = (x+y)\) - The common ratio \(r = (x+y)\) - The number of terms \(n\) ### Step 4: Use the formula for the sum of a geometric series The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is given by: \[ S_n = a \frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ S_n = (x+y) \frac{1 - (x+y)^n}{1 - (x+y)} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression Thus, the sum of the first n terms can be simplified to: \[ S_n = \frac{(x+y)(1 - (x+y)^n)}{1 - (x+y)} \] ### Final Result So, the sum of the first n terms of the series is: \[ S_n = \frac{(x+y)(1 - (x+y)^n)}{1 - (x+y)} \]

To find the sum of the first n terms of the series \((x+y)+(x^2+xy+y^2)+(x^3+x^2y+xy^2+y^3)+...\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the pattern in the series The series can be rewritten as: - The first term is \(x + y\) - The second term is \(x^2 + xy + y^2\) - The third term is \(x^3 + x^2y + xy^2 + y^3\) ...
