Question
Evaluate the following limits:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\frac{x+3 x^2+5 x^3+\cdots \cdots \cdots \cdots \cdots+(2 n-1) x^n-n^2}{x-1}\right)$

Answer

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\frac{x+3 x^2+5 x^3+\cdots+(2 n-1) x^n-n^2}{x-1}\right)$
Consider
$1+3+5+\ldots+(2 n-1)$
$=\sum_{r=1}^n(2 r-1)$
$=2 \sum_{r=1}^n r-\sum_{r=1}^n 1$
$=2 \frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)}{2}-\mathrm{n}$
$=n(n+1)-n$
$=n^2+n-n$
$=\mathrm{n}^2$
$\therefore \quad n^2=1+3+5+\ldots+(2 n-1) \text {. }$
$\therefore \quad \text { Required limit }$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{\left[x+3 x^2+5 x^3+\cdots+(2 n-1) x^n\right]-[1+3+5+\cdots+(2 n-1)]}{x-1}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{(x-1)+\left(3 x^2-3\right)+\left(5 x^2-5\right)+\cdots+(2 \mathrm{n}-1) x^n-(2 \mathrm{n}-1)}{x-1}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left[\frac{x-1}{x-1}+\frac{3\left(x^2-1\right)}{x-1}+\frac{5\left(x^3-1\right)}{x-1}+\cdots+\frac{(2 n-1)\left(x^n-1\right)}{x-1}\right]$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\frac{x^1-1^1}{x-1}\right)+3 \lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\frac{x^2-1^2}{x-1}\right)+5 \lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\frac{x^3-1^3}{x-1}\right)$
$+\cdots+(2 n-1) \lim _{x \rightarrow 1}\left(\frac{x^n-1^n}{x-1}\right)$
$=1(1)^0+3(2)(1)^1+5(3)(1)^2+\ldots+(2 n-1) n(1)^{n-1}$
$=1(1)+3(2)+5(3)+\ldots+(2 n-1) n$
$=\sum_{r=1}^n(2 \mathrm{r}-1) \mathrm{r}$
$=\sum_{r=1}^{\infty}\left(2 r^2-r\right)$
$=2 \sum_{r=1}^n r^2-\sum_{r=1}^n r$
$=2 \cdot \frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)(2 \mathrm{n}+1)}{6}-\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)}{2}$
$=n(n+1)\left(\frac{2 n+1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$=n(n+1)\left(\frac{4 n+2-3}{6}\right)=\frac{n(n+1)(4 n-1)}{6}$
