CHSE Odisha 11th Class Math Notes Chapter 10 Sequences and Series

Sequence:
A sequence is a function whose domain is N (The set of natural numbers).
Note: We can use the set of whole numbers as a domain.

Real Sequence:
If the range of a sequence is a subset of ‘R’, then it is a real sequence.
⇒ If: N → R is a sequence then f(n) for n = 1, 2, 3, ….. are the terms of the sequence.

Finite and infinite sequence:
A sequence with a finite number of terms is a finite sequence otherwise it is infinite.
Note: We denote a sequence by (tn) or {tn} where f(n) = tn

Series:
An expression of the type t1 + t2 + t3 + ….. (or ∑tn) where tn is the nth term of a sequence is a series.

Partial sums:
If $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} t_n$$ is a series then a sum $$\mathrm{S}_n=\sum_{k=1}^n t_k$$ is called the nth partial sum of the series for n = 1, 2, 3 …..
∴ s1 = t1, s2 = t1 + t2, s3 = t1 + t2 + t3 and so on.

Progression:
Progression is a sequence whose terms follow as pattern.
Arithmetic progression (A.P):
A sequence  (tn) is an A.P. If tn+1 – tn = d (constant) for n = 1, 2, 3, …..

(a) General form: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d …..
(b) nth term: tn = a + (n – 1)d, where t1 = a, and the common difference = d
(c) Sum of first n terms (Sn):
Sn = $$\frac{n}{2}$$[2a + (n – 1)d]
= $$\frac{n}{2}$$[a + l]
where a = first term
d = common difference
l = last term (or nth term)

Note:

1. If a, b, c are in A.P. then 2b = a + c.
2. If 3 numbers are in A.P. then we take them as a – d, a, a + d.
3. If 4 numbers are in A.P. then we take rhem as a – 3d, a – d, a + d, a + 3d.

(d) Insertion of arithmetic means between two given number:
Let m1, m2, m3 …. mn are ‘n’ arithmetic means between ‘a’ and ‘b’ then mk = a + $$\frac{k(b-a)}{n+1}$$ for k = 1, 2, ….. n.

Geometric progression (G.P):
If $$\frac{t_{n+1}}{t_n}$$ = r (constant), for n = 1, 2, 3, ….. then the sequence (tn) is a geometrical progression.

(a) General form: a, ar, ar2, ar3 …..
(b) nth term of GP: nth term of G.P. = tn = arn-1.
(c) sum of first n terms of a G.P.: Sn = $$\frac{a\left(1-r^n\right)}{1-r}(\text { for } r \neq 1)$$
(d) sum of an infinite G.P.: If |r| < 1 then the sum of the infinite G.P. a, ar, ar2 ….. is S = $$\frac{a}{1-r}$$

Note:

1. If a, b, c are in G.P. then b2 = ac
2. If 3 numbers are in G.P. we take them as $$\frac{a}{r}$$, a, ar.
3. If 4 numbers are in G.P. then we take them as $$\frac{a}{r^3}, \frac{a}{r}, a r, a r^3$$

(e) Insertion of  geometric means between  two numbers:
If g1, g2 ……gn are n geometric means between a and b then gk = a $$\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{\frac{k}{n+1}}$$, k = 1, 2, 3, …. n

Harmonic Progression (H.P):
A sequence a1, a2, a3 ….. of non zero numbers is called a Harmonic progression if the sequence $$\frac{1}{a_1}, \frac{1}{a_2}, \frac{1}{a_3}$$ ….. is an A.P.

(a) Harmonic mean:
Harmonic mean(H) between two numbers a and b is $$\frac{1}{\mathrm{H}}=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}\right)}{2}$$
= $$\frac{a+b}{2 a b}$$
⇒ H = $$\frac{2 a b}{a+b}$$

(b) Insertion of n harmonic means between two numbers:
Let H1, H2 ….. Hn are n harmonic means between a and b then $$\frac{1}{\mathrm{H}_K}=\frac{1}{a}$$ + kD, where D = $$\frac{a-b}{(n+1) a b}$$.

Relation among A.M., G.M. and H.M.
AM ≥ GM ≥ HM

Arithmetic co-geometric sequence(AGP):
If (an) is an A.P. and (bn) is an G.P. then the series (anbn) is called an arithmetic co-geometric sequence.

(a) General form: a, (a + d) r, (a + 2d) r2, (a + 3d)r3,…..
(b) nth term of A.G.P.: tn = {a + (n – 1)d} rn-1.
(c) sum of first terms of A.G.P.:
The sum of first n terms of A.G.P. a, (a + d) r, (a + 2d) r2, …..  is
Sn = $$\frac{a}{1-r}+d r\left(\frac{1-r^{n-1}}{(1-r)^2}\right)-\frac{[a+(n-1) d] r^n}{1-r}$$ for r ≠ 1
(d) sum of infinite A.G.P.: If |r| < 1 then we have $$S_{\infty}=\frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{d r}{(1-r)^2}$$

Sum of special sequences.:

Binomial Series:
(a) Binomial theorem for any real index:

• (1 + x) n = 1 + nx + $$\frac{n(n-1)}{2} x^2+\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3 !} x^3+\ldots$$ for |x| < 1
• (1 – x)-1 = 1 + x + x2 …..
• (1 + x)-1 = 1 – x + x2 – x3 …..
• (1 + x)-2 = 1 – 2x + 3x2 – 4x3 …..
• (1 – x)-2 = 1 + 2x + 3x2 + …..
