f ( x ) = x + x + x + x + …
Let f ( x ) = a where a is a positive integer.
x + x + x + x + … = a
⇒ x + a = a
⇒ x + a = a 2
⇒ a 2 − a − x = 0
⇒ a = 2 1 + 1 + 4 x
If we want a to be an integer, 1 + 4 x should be a perfect square. Therefore, values of x are as follows :
x = 6 values 0 , 2 , 6 , 1 2 , 2 0 , 3 0
⇒ n = 1 ∑ 2 1 6 2 n ( n + 1 ) = 2 1 n = 1 ∑ 2 1 6 n 2 + n
⇒ 2 1 n = 1 ∑ 2 1 6 n 2 + 2 1 n = 1 ∑ 2 1 6 n
⇒ 2 1 ⋅ 6 2 1 6 × 2 1 7 × 4 3 3 + 2 1 ⋅ 2 2 1 6 × 2 1 7
⇒ 1 7 0 3 0 1 6
