(a) Show that
r=1n(4r3)=n(2n1).\sum_{r=1}^{n}(4r-3)=n(2n-1).
(3)
(b) Hence, or otherwise, find the least value of n\displaystyle n such that
r=1n(4r3)>1000.\sum_{r=1}^{n}(4r-3)>1000.
(3)
Given that Sn=n(2n1)\displaystyle S_n=n(2n-1), tn=4n3\displaystyle t_n=4n-3 and that
18+3tn+7=Sn+4,18+3t_{n+7}=S_{n+4},
(c) find the value of n\displaystyle n.
(4)
