Sn=αn2+βn⇒an=Sn−Sn−1=α(2n−1)+β for n≥1.
a10=19α+β=59 ... (i)
a6=11α+β, a1=α+β.
a6=7a1⇒11α+β=7α+7β⇒4α=6β⇒α=23β ... (ii)
Substituting (ii) in (i): 19⋅23β+β=59⇒259β=59⇒β=2, α=3.
α+β=5.
Let k=1∑nak=αn2+βn. If a10=59 and a6=7a1, then α+β is equal to

Let $a_{1}=1$ and for $n \geqslant 1, a_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2} a_{n}+\frac{n^{2}-2 n-1}{n^{2}(n+1)^{2}}$. Then $\left|\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(a_{n}-\frac{2}{n^{2}}\right)\right|$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$.
Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots$ be G.P. of increasing positive terms such that $a_{2} \cdot a_{3} \cdot a_{4}=64$ and $a_{1}+a_{3}+a_{5}=\frac{813}{7}$. Then $a_{3}+a_{5}+a_{7}$ is equal to :
Consider an A.P.: $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{\mathrm{n}} ; a_{1}>0$. If $a_{2}-a_{1}=\frac{-3}{4}, a_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{4} a_{1}$, and $\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}} a_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{525}{2}$, then $\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{17} a_{\mathrm{i}}$ is equal to
Let $a_{1}, \frac{a_{2}}{2}, \frac{a_{3}}{2^{2}}, \ldots, \frac{a_{10}}{2^{9}}$ be a G.P. of common ratio $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. If $a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{10}=62$, then $a_{1}$ is equal to :
If the sum of the first four terms of an A.P. is 6 and the sum of its first six terms is 4, then the sum of its first twelve terms is
