Find the sum of the series whose nth term is :

2n3 + 3n2 – 1

1st term = 2(1)3 + 3(1)2 – 1


2nd term = 2(2)3 + 3(2)2 - 1


And so on


Nth term = 2n3 + 3n2 – 1


General term be = 2r3 + 3r2 – 1


Summation = 1st term + 2nd term + …….. + nth term


= 2(1)3 + 3(1)2 – 1 + 2(2)3 + 3(2)2 - 1 + …….2n3 + 3n2 – 1 …(1)


We know,



Thus


From (1) we have


Summation =


We know by property that:


∑axn + bxn - 1 + cxn - 2…….d0=a∑xn + b∑xn - 1 + c∑xn - 2…….. + d0∑1


Thus


……(2)


We know





Thus substituting the above values in (2)


Summation =
