S = x + 2 x 2 + 3 x 3 + + n x n S = x + 2 x^{2} +3x^{3} +\ldots + n x^{n}

When x = 2 , n = 2014 x=2, n=2014 , S = a + c a d S = a + ca^{d} .

Find the value of d + c a \frac{d+c}{a}


The answer is 2014.

x + 2X^2 +3x^3 +.............................+nx^n=

x( 1+2x +3x^2+..................................+nx^(n-1) )+=

x(x+x^2 +x^3 +.........................................x^n)'=

x((x^(n+1) - x)/(x-1))' =

x((1 - (n+1)x^n + nx^(n+1))/(x-1)^2)

solving for x=2 and n=2014

we get

S= 2 + 2013*2^2015

so

a=2,c=2013,d=2015

so (b+c)/a = 2014
