Evaluate the following:$\sum_\limits{\text{k}=1}^{\text{n}}(2^\text{k}+3^{\text{k}-1})$

Answer

$\sum_\limits{\text{k}=1}^{\text{n}}(2^\text{k}+3^{\text{k}-1})$
$=(2+3^0)+(2^2+3)+(2^3+3^2)+\ \dots\ +(2^\text{n}+3^{{\text{n}-}1})$
$(2+2^2+2^3+\ \dots\ +2^{\text{n}})+(3^0+3^1+3^2+\ \dots\ +3^{\text{n}-1})$
$=\text{S}_\text{n}+\text{S}_\text{m}$
$\text{S}_\text{n}\Rightarrow\text{a}=2,\text{n}=\text{n},\text{r}=\frac{2^2}{2}=2$
$\text{S}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{a}(\text{r}^\text{n}-1)}{\text{r}-1}=\frac{2(2^\text{n}-1)}{2-1}=2(2^\text{n}-1)$
Also,
$\text{S}_\text{m}=\text{S}_{\text{n}-1}$
$\text{a}=1,\text{r}=3,\text{n}=\text{n}-1$
$\text{S}_{\text{n}-1}=\frac{1(3^{\text{n}-1}-1)}{3-1}=\frac12(3^{\text{n}}-1)$
$\therefore\sum_\limits{\text{k}-1}^\text{n}(2^{\text{k}}+3^{\text{k}-1})=2(2^\text{n}-1)+\frac12(3^\text{n}-1)$
$=\frac12\big[2^{\text{n}+2}+3^\text{n}-4-1\big]$
$=\frac12\big[2^{\text{n}+2}+3^\text{n}-5\big]$
