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 =
