Proof of (1):
Step 1: For n=1, we start by substituting n=1 into the given equation 32Sn=an−32n−2 to find a1:
32S1=a1−32⋅1−2⟹a1=8.
Step 2: For n⩾2, we consider the sum of the first n−1 terms:
32Sn−1=an−1−32(n−1)−2.
Step 3: Subtracting the equation for Sn−1 from the equation for Sn gives us:
32Sn−32Sn−1=an−an−1−32⟹2an=3an−1+2.
Step 4: Solving for an in terms of an−1, we find:
an=3an−1+2⟹an+1=3(an−1+1).
Therefore, the sequence {an+1} is a geometric sequence with the first term a1+1=9 and common ratio 3. Hence, we have The sequence {an+1} is a geometric sequence.
Proof of (2):
Step 1: From (1), we know an+1=9×3n−1=3n+1. Therefore, an=3n+1−1.
Step 2: For the sequence {bn}, we have:
bn=an+21=3n+1+11<3n+11.
Step 3: The sum of the first n terms of {bn}, Tn, can be estimated as:
Tn<321+331+341+⋯+3n+11.
Step 4: Recognizing this as a geometric series with the first term 91 and common ratio 31, we find:
Tn<1−3191(1−3n1)=61−61×3n1<61.
Therefore, we conclude that Tn<61, and we encapsulate this final answer as Tn<61.
