1) denote the sum as S
(S) - (S)x = ?
2) tr = r(r+1)(r+2) u can use formula for summation of r3 , r2, and r
alt)the tricky way is writing r(r+1)(r+2) = [(r-1)r(r+1) - r(r+1)(r+2)]/-3
now put r = 1,2,3,... and see what happens when we add them.
1. Sum of the series : 1 + 3x + 5x2 + 7x3 + .........
2. Sum the series : 1.2.3 + 2.3.4 + 3.4.5. + ......... + to n terms.
3. Sum the series : 12 + (12 + 22) + (12 + 22 + 32) + ........ to n terms.
