Find the sum of the series whose nth term is :

n(n + 1) (n + 4)

Generalized term be r(r + 1) (r + 4)

1st term = (1)((1) + 1) ((1) + 4)


2nd term =(2)((2) + 1) ((2) + 4)


And so on


nth term = n(n + 1) (n + 4) = n3 + 5n2 + 4n


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


=(1)((1) + 1) ((1) + 4) + (2)((2) + 1) ((2) + 4)……… + n3 + 5n2 + 4n ……(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
