The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the first 2006 terms of the sequence defined by \( T_n = 2T_{n-1} - T_{n-2} \) with initial terms \( T_1 = 0 \) and \( T_2 = 1 \), we will first calculate the terms of the sequence and then find the sum. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first two terms:** \[ T_1 = 0, \quad T_2 = 1 \] 2. **Calculate the third term:** \[ T_3 = 2T_2 - T_1 = 2 \times 1 - 0 = 2 \] 3. **Calculate the fourth term:** \[ T_4 = 2T_3 - T_2 = 2 \times 2 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 \] 4. **Calculate the fifth term:** \[ T_5 = 2T_4 - T_3 = 2 \times 3 - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4 \] 5. **Calculate the sixth term:** \[ T_6 = 2T_5 - T_4 = 2 \times 4 - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5 \] 6. **Continue calculating the next terms to establish a pattern:** \[ T_7 = 2T_6 - T_5 = 2 \times 5 - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 \] \[ T_8 = 2T_7 - T_6 = 2 \times 6 - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 \] \[ T_9 = 2T_8 - T_7 = 2 \times 7 - 6 = 14 - 6 = 8 \] 7. **Observe the pattern:** The terms appear to be increasing sequentially: \[ T_1 = 0, T_2 = 1, T_3 = 2, T_4 = 3, T_5 = 4, T_6 = 5, T_7 = 6, T_8 = 7, T_9 = 8, \ldots \] This suggests that \( T_n = n - 1 \) for \( n \geq 1 \). 8. **Verify the formula:** For \( n \geq 3 \): \[ T_n = n - 1 \] This holds true based on the calculations above. 9. **Calculate the sum of the first 2006 terms:** The first term is \( T_1 = 0 \) and the last term is \( T_{2006} = 2005 \). Thus, we need to sum the integers from 1 to 2005: \[ S = 1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + 2005 \] 10. **Use the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers:** \[ S = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] Here, \( n = 2005 \): \[ S = \frac{2005 \times (2005 + 1)}{2} = \frac{2005 \times 2006}{2} \] 11. **Final calculation:** \[ S = \frac{2005 \times 2006}{2} \] ### Final Answer: The sum of the first 2006 terms of the sequence is: \[ \frac{2005 \times 2006}{2} \]
