In the problem below, It is asked to find the formula for the sum of the sequence and then to prove whether it is true or false for all n values using induction.
1+4+7+...+(3n+1), n∈N0
In order to do that I tried to convert it into Sigma notation
k∑n=03n+1
and then using the rules of sigma notation I came up with
k∑n=03n+1=3⋅k∑n=0n+k∑n=01
and then I replaced it with the following to come to the formula for the sum of the sequence
3⋅n(n+1)2+(n+1)=(n+1)(3n+2)2
But it seems to be totally incorrect!
What am I doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.
