Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence:

  • log x + log√2, 2logx + log 2, 3logx + log2√2, ...

a)

The terms can be rewritten as:

  • T(1) = log x + log√2 = log x√2
  • T(2) = 2logx + log 2 = 2logx + 2 log√2 = 2log x√2
  • T(3) = 3logx + log2√2 = 3logx + 3log√2 = 3log x√2
  • ...
  • T(n) = n log x√2  (option A)

b)

Sum of the first n terms:

  • log x√2 + 2log x√2 + ... + nlog x√2 =
  • log x√2(1 + 2 + ... + n) =
  • log x√2 (1 + n)*n/2 =
  • 1/2n(n + 1)log x√2

Sum of the first 40 terms:

  • 1/2*40(40 + 1)log x√2 =
  • 820log x√2
