algebra precalculus - Find the nth term and the sum to n terms of the following series



Find the nth term and sum to n terms of the following series.
1.3+2.4+3.5+



My Attempt:




Here,
nth term of 1+2+3+=n



nth term of 3+4+5+=n+2



Thus,



nth term of the series 1.3+2.4+3.5+=n(n+2)



tn=n2+2n




If Sn be the sum to n terms of the series then
Sn=tn
=(n2+2n)



How do I proceed?


Answer



ni=1(i2+2i)=ni=1i2+2ni=1i=n(n+1)(2n+1)6+2n(n+1)2




You might want to factorize the terms to simplify things.
