Find the sum of the following series:

(a - b)2 + (a2 + b2) + (a + b)2 + s…. + [(a + b)2 + 6ab]

for the given AP the first term a is (a - b)2 and common difference d is a difference of second term and first term, which is

To find: the sum of given AP


The formula for sum of AP is given by



Substituting the values in the above formula




n = 5
