arithmetic - What is the name of this summation formula?

So recently I derived a formula (obviously not the first... it already existed but that is what got me into summations) that quickly adds all the numbers from 1 to "n" However I recently derived another formula (also not the first I am guessing) that adds all the numbers from any number (not just 1) to "n" (i.e. 14+15+16+17)




Where i= Starting number and n= Ending number



ni=(ni+1)((n+i)/2)



What I want to know is what is this formula called? Mine is very complicated looking as well so is there a more compact way?
