Find the sum of the series whose nth term is :

(2n – 1)2

Generalized term be (2r - 1)2=4r2 + 1 - 4r

1st term = 4(1)2 + 1 - 4(1)


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


And so on


nth term= 4n2 + 1 - 4n


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


= 4(1)2 + 1 - 4(1) + 4(2)2 + 1 - 4(2) ………4n2 + 1 - 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 above values in (2)
