f(1)+f(2)............f(n)=n2f(n)

→ f(1)+f(2)............+f(n-1)+f(n)=n2f(n)

→ (n-1)2f(n-1)=(n2-1)f(n)

→ f(n)=n-1n+1f(n-1)=(n-1)(n+1).(n-2)nf(n-2)=(n-1)(n-2)n(n+1)f(n-2)=(n-2+1)(n-2)n(n+1)f(n-2)

→ f(n)=(n-1)(n-2)n(n+1)f(n-2)=(n-1)(n-2)n(n+1).(n-3)(n-1)f(n-3)=(n-2)(n-3)n(n+1)f(n-3)=(n-3+1)(n-3)n(n+1)f(n-3)

→ f(n)=(n-2)(n-3)n(n+1)f(n-3)=(n-2)(n-3)n(n+1).(n-4)(n-2)f(n-4)=(n-4+1)(n-4)n(n+1)f(n-4)

→ f(n)=k(k+1)n(n+1)f(k) k ≤ n-2

so, f(9)=1X(1+1)9X(9+1)f(1)=80
