已知 數(shù)列{an}中,a1=1,an+1=3Sn(n≥1)
(Ⅰ)求a2及a3的值;
(Ⅱ)求數(shù)列{an}前n項(xiàng)的和Sn.
分析:(Ⅰ)由已知,數(shù)列{a
n}中,a
1=1,a
n+1=3S
n(n≥1),可利用a
2=3S
1,a
3=3S
2,分別求出a
2及a
3的值;
(Ⅱ)由于當(dāng)n≥2時(shí),
====1+=1+3=4可得出a
2,a
3,…,a
n是以3為首項(xiàng),公比為4的等比數(shù)列,可求出
解答:解:(Ⅰ)由a
n+1=3S
n(n≥1)及a
1=1可得a
2=3S
1=3a
1=3,a
3=3S
2=12
(Ⅱ)當(dāng)n≥2時(shí),
====1+=1+3=4因此a
2,a
3,…,a
n是以3為首項(xiàng),公比為4的等比數(shù)列.
當(dāng)n≥2時(shí)
Sn=1+=4n-1又n=1時(shí),S
1=1=4
1-1綜上可得:S
n=4
n-1 點(diǎn)評(píng):本題考查數(shù)列求和與數(shù)列的和與項(xiàng)之間的關(guān)系,本題解題的關(guān)鍵是整理出數(shù)列具有特殊的性質(zhì),比如是一個(gè)等比數(shù)列.
