Notam cu X = [tex]1+3+3^2+3^3+3^4+.....+3^{2011}[/tex]
[tex]X = 1+3+3^2+3^3+3^4+.....+3^{2011}\\
3X = 3 + 3^2 + 3^3 +...+3^{2012}[/tex]
Le scadem de jos in sus si obtinem:
[tex]2X = 3 + 3^2 + 3^3 +...+3^{2012} - (1+3+3^2+3^3+3^4+.....+3^{2011})\\
2X = 3 + 3^2 + 3^3 +...+3^{2012} - 1 - 3 -3^2-...-3^{2011}\\
2X = 3^{2012}-1 =\ \textgreater \ X = \frac{3^{2012} - 1}{2}[/tex]
