I am trying to find the nth partial sum of this series:
S(n)=2(n+1)2
I found the answer on WolframAlpha:
∑mn=0(1+2n)2=13(m+1)(2m+1)(2m+3)
How can I calculate that sum, without any software?
Answer
S(n)=(1+2n)2=1+4n+4n2
You can now use the following m∑n=01=m+1m∑n=0n=m(m+1)2m∑n=0n2=m(m+1)(2m+1)6
Alternatively, compute the first 4-5 elements. The sum of a polynomial of order p will be a polynomial of order p+1 in the number of terms. Find the coefficients, then prove by induction
