在等比数列{an}中,a1=1,前n项和为Sn.若数列{Sn+1/2}也是等比数列,则Sn等于_.
问题描述:
在等比数列{an}中,a1=1,前n项和为Sn.若数列{Sn+
}也是等比数列,则Sn等于______. 1 2
答
当公比为1时,Sn=n,数列{Sn+
}为数列{n+1 2
}为公差为1的等差数列,不满足题意;1 2
当公比不为1时,Sn=
,∴Sn+1−qn
1−q
=1 2
+1−qn
1−q
,Sn+1+1 2
=1 2
+1−qn+1
1−q
1 2
∴
=
Sn+1+
1 2
Sn+
1 2
=2qn+1+q−3 2qn+q−3
=q+q(2qn+q−3)−q2+4q−3 2qn+q−3
−q2+4q−3 2qn+q−3
∵数列{Sn+
}是等比数列1 2
∴-q2+4q-3=0
∵q≠1,∴q=3
∴Sn=
=1−qn
1−q
=1−3n
1−3
(3n−1)1 2
故答案为:
(3n−1)1 2
