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
