I am trying to find the sum of the above series.
The sum till n terms can be found using power series expansion. However, I'm trying to solve this using the method of difference (a.k.a. Telescoping sum or $V_n$ method).
In this method, the general term is expressed as the difference between two consecutive values of some function. Like the following:
$T_n = V_n - V_{n-1}$
and then the sum is taken which comes to be
$S_n = V_n - V_0$
The general term of the series in question can be represented as a product:
$T_n = n(n+1)^2(n+2)$
But I am unable to represent this as a difference. How can I proceed from here to find the sum?
