algebra precalculus - The sum of 12+72+132+cdots+n2, where n=1mod6



Find the sum of this progression in the terms of n




12+72+132++n2, where n =1 \mod6 .



Are Bernoulli's numbers involved in this? Please help.


Answer



So, we need \displaystyle\sum_{r=0}^m(6r+1)^2



which is
36\sum_{r=0}^mr^2+12\sum_{r=0}^mr+\sum_{r=0}^m1



=36\sum_{r=1}^mr^2+12\sum_{r=1}^mr+(m+1)
