Let an=∫−1n(1+x2+x23+  .....  +  xn−1n)dx{a_n} = \int\limits_{ - 1}^n {\left( {1 + {x \over 2} + {{{x^2}} \over 3} + \,\,.....\,\, + \,\,{{{x^{n - 1}}} \over n}} \right)dx} for every n ∈\in N. Then the sum of all the elements of the set {n ∈\in N : an ∈\in (2, 30)} is ____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵\because an=∫−1n(1+x2+x23 + .... + xn−1n)dx{a_n} = \int\limits_{ - 1}^n {\left( {1 + {x \over 2} + {{{x^2}} \over 3}\, + \,....\, + \,{{{x^{n - 1}}} \over n}} \right)dx}

=[x+x222+x332 + ...... + xnn2]−1n= \left[ {x + {{{x^2}} \over {{2^2}}} + {{{x^3}} \over {{3^2}}}\, + \,......\, + \,{{{x^n}} \over {{n^2}}}} \right]_{ - 1}^n

an=n+112+n2−122+n3+132+n4−142 + ... + nn+(−1)n+1n2{a_n} = {{n + 1} \over {{1^2}}} + {{{n^2} - 1} \over {{2^2}}} + {{{n^3} + 1} \over {{3^2}}} + {{{n^4} - 1} \over {{4^2}}}\, + \,...\, + \,{{{n^n} + {{( - 1)}^{n + 1}}} \over {{n^2}}}

Here, a1=2, a2=2+11+22−12=3+32=92{a_1} = 2,\,{a_2} = {{2 + 1} \over 1} + {{{2^2} - 1} \over 2} = 3 + {3 \over 2} = {9 \over 2}

a3=4+2+289=1009{a_3} = 4 + 2 + {{28} \over 9} = {{100} \over 9}

{a_4} = 5 + {{15} \over 4} + {{65} \over 9} + {{255} \over {16}} > 31 .

∴\therefore The required set is {2,3}\{ 2,3\} . ∵\because an∈(2,30){a_n} \in (2,30)

∴\therefore Sum of elements = 5.
