The correct Answer is:
To find the sum to n terms of the series \( \frac{3}{8} + \frac{6}{11} + \frac{9}{14} + \ldots \), we will first identify the pattern in the series and then derive the formula for the nth term. ### Step 1: Identify the Numerators and Denominators The numerators of the series are: - First term: 3 - Second term: 6 - Third term: 9 The pattern in the numerators is: - \(3, 6, 9, \ldots\) This can be expressed as: \[ a_n = 3n \quad \text{(where \( n \) is the term number)} \] The denominators of the series are: - First term: 8 - Second term: 11 - Third term: 14 The pattern in the denominators is: - \(8, 11, 14, \ldots\) This can be expressed as: \[ b_n = 8 + (n-1) \cdot 3 = 3n + 5 \] ### Step 2: Write the nth Term of the Series Now we can write the nth term of the series as: \[ T_n = \frac{a_n}{b_n} = \frac{3n}{3n + 5} \] ### Step 3: Find the Sum of n Terms To find the sum of the first n terms, we need to sum up \( T_n \): \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} T_k = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{3k}{3k + 5} \] ### Step 4: Simplifying the Sum Calculating the sum directly can be complex, so we can use partial fractions or other techniques, but for simplicity, we can evaluate the sum numerically for small values of \( n \) to identify a pattern. ### Step 5: General Formula for the Sum After evaluating the sum for small values of \( n \), we can derive a general formula, but this requires deeper analysis or computational assistance. ### Conclusion The sum of the first n terms of the series can be expressed as: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{3k}{3k + 5} \] This requires further simplification or numerical evaluation for specific values of \( n \).
