The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the series \( S = 1 + 3x + 6x^2 + 10x^3 + \ldots \) up to infinite terms, where \( |x| < 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the series The series can be expressed as: \[ S = 1 + 3x + 6x^2 + 10x^3 + \ldots \] ### Step 2: Write the series in terms of \( S \) Let’s denote the series as \( S \): \[ S = 1 + 3x + 6x^2 + 10x^3 + \ldots \] ### Step 3: Multiply the series by \( x \) Now, multiply the entire series \( S \) by \( x \): \[ xS = x + 3x^2 + 6x^3 + 10x^4 + \ldots \] ### Step 4: Subtract the two equations Now, subtract the equation for \( xS \) from \( S \): \[ S - xS = (1 + 3x + 6x^2 + 10x^3 + \ldots) - (x + 3x^2 + 6x^3 + 10x^4 + \ldots) \] This simplifies to: \[ S(1 - x) = 1 + (3x - x) + (6x^2 - 3x^2) + (10x^3 - 6x^3) + \ldots \] \[ S(1 - x) = 1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + \ldots \] ### Step 5: Recognize the new series The series \( 1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + \ldots \) can be recognized as another series. We can denote it as \( T \): \[ T = 1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + \ldots \] ### Step 6: Multiply \( T \) by \( x \) Now, multiply \( T \) by \( x \): \[ xT = x + 2x^2 + 3x^3 + 4x^4 + \ldots \] ### Step 7: Subtract the two equations again Subtract \( xT \) from \( T \): \[ T - xT = (1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + \ldots) - (x + 2x^2 + 3x^3 + 4x^4 + \ldots) \] This simplifies to: \[ T(1 - x) = 1 + (2x - x) + (3x^2 - 2x^2) + (4x^3 - 3x^3) + \ldots \] \[ T(1 - x) = 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + \ldots \] ### Step 8: Recognize the new series as a geometric series The series \( 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + \ldots \) is a geometric series with first term \( 1 \) and common ratio \( x \). The sum of this series is: \[ \frac{1}{1 - x} \quad \text{(for } |x| < 1\text{)} \] ### Step 9: Substitute back Now we have: \[ T(1 - x) = \frac{1}{1 - x} \] Thus, \[ T = \frac{1}{(1 - x)(1 - x)} = \frac{1}{(1 - x)^2} \] ### Step 10: Substitute \( T \) back into the equation for \( S \) Now substitute \( T \) back into the equation for \( S \): \[ S(1 - x) = T = \frac{1}{(1 - x)^2} \] So, \[ S = \frac{1}{(1 - x)^2(1 - x)} = \frac{1}{(1 - x)^3} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the sum of the series is: \[ S = \frac{1}{(1 - x)^3} \]
