Find the nth term and sum to n terms of the following series.
1.3+2.4+3.5+……
My Attempt:
Here,
nth term of 1+2+3+……=n
nth term of 3+4+5+……=n+2
Thus,
nth term of the series 1.3+2.4+3.5+……=n(n+2)
tn=n2+2n
If Sn be the sum to n terms of the series then
Sn=∑tn
=∑(n2+2n)
How do I proceed?
Answer
n∑i=1(i2+2i)=n∑i=1i2+2n∑i=1i=n(n+1)(2n+1)6+2⋅n(n+1)2
You might want to factorize the terms to simplify things.
