问题 解答题
数列{an}的前n项和为Sn,a1=2,Sn=
1
2
an+1-1
(n∈N*).
(Ⅰ)求a2,a3
(Ⅱ)求数列{an}的通项an
(Ⅲ)求数列{nan}的前n项和Tn
答案

(Ⅰ)∵a1=2,Sn=

1
2
an+1-1(n∈N*),

∴当n=1时,S1=

1
2
a2-1=a1=2,

解得a2=6.

当n=2时,S2=

1
2
a3-1=2+6=8,

解得a3=18.

(Ⅱ)∵a1=2,Sn=

1
2
an+1-1(n∈N*),

∴当n≥2时,Sn=

1
2
an+1-1,Sn-1=
1
2
an-1

an=Sn-Sn-1=

1
2
an+1-
1
2
an

即an+1=3an

对于a2=3a1也满足上式,

∴数列{an}是首项为2,公比为3的等比数列,

an=2•3n-1(n∈N*)

( III)∵an=2•3n-1(n∈N*)

nan=2n•3n-1

Tn=2•1+4•3+6•32+8•33+…+2n•3n-1

3Tn=2•3+4•32+6•33+8•34+…+2n•3n

相减得,-2Tn=2(1+3+32+33+…+3n-1)-2n•3n

=2•

1-3n
1-3
-2n•3n

=3n-1-2n•3n

Tn=

(2n-1)•3n+1
2
