Find the sum of the following series up to n terms:
The nth term of series is
Now, first solve the numerator & denominator separately
13 + 23 + 33 + … + n3 …(1)
Also,
1 + 3 + 5 + … + n terms
This is an AP.
whose first term(a) =1 & common difference(d) = 3 - 1 = 2
Now, sum of n terms of AP is
Sn = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]
= (n/2)[2(1) + (n - 1)2]
= (n/2)[2 + 2n - 2]
= (n/2)[2n]
= n2
∴ Sn = n2 …(2)
Now,
putting values from (1) & (2)
Now, Finding Sum of n terms of Series
Thus, the required sum is
