設(shè)數(shù)列{an}的前n項(xiàng)和為Sn.已知a1=a,an+1=Sn+3n,n∈N*.由
(Ⅰ)設(shè)bn=Sn-3n,求數(shù)列{bn}的通項(xiàng)公式;
(Ⅱ)若an+1≥an,n∈N*,求a的取值范圍.
解:(Ⅰ)依題意,Sn+1-Sn=an+1=Sn+3n,即Sn+1=2Sn+3n,
由此得Sn+1-3n+1=2Sn+3n-3n+1=2(Sn-3n).
因此,所求通項(xiàng)公式為bn=Sn-3n=(a-3)2n-1,n∈N*.①
(Ⅱ)由①知Sn=3n+(a-3)2n-1,n∈N*,
于是,當(dāng)n≥2時(shí),
an=Sn-Sn-1=3n+(a-3)×2n-1-3n-1-(a-3)×2n-2=2×3n-1+(a-3)2n-2,
an+1-an=4×3n-1+(a-3)2n-2=,
當(dāng)n≥2時(shí),?a≥-9.
又a2=a1+3>a1.
綜上,所求的a的取值范圍是[-9,+∞).
分析:(Ⅰ)依題意得S
n+1=2S
n+3
n,由此可知S
n+1-3
n+1=2(S
n-3
n).所以b
n=S
n-3
n=(a-3)2
n-1,n∈N
*.
(Ⅱ)由題設(shè)條件知S
n=3
n+(a-3)2
n-1,n∈N
*,于是,a
n=S
n-S
n-1=
,由此可以求得a的取值范圍是[-9,+∞).
點(diǎn)評(píng):本題考查數(shù)列的綜合運(yùn)用,解題時(shí)要仔細(xì)審題,注意挖掘題設(shè)中的隱含條件.
