Simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[n(n+1)(2n+1)/3-3n(n+1)+4n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you get this from something???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or you want to write it in Sigma Notation???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find \[\sum_{1}^{n}(2i^2-6i+4)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\sum_{1}^{n}i^2-6\sum_{1}^{n}i+4=n(n+1)(2n+1)/3-3n(n+1)+4n \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take the LCD first and solve the parenthesis by distributive property.. Are you given with the answer???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the answer?? So, that I can know at what maximum I have to simplify this..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer \[2n(n-1)(n-2)/3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I try..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Firstly solve for last two terms: \[\large -3n(n+1) + 4n = -3n^2 - 3n + 4n = n - 3n^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now take the LCD and then solve: \[\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{3} + n - 3n^2 = \frac{(n^2+n)(2n+1) + 3n - 9n^2}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now comparing with the answer you have given to me @strawberry_militia we have to solve for numerator.. Numerator should be equal to \(2n(n-1)(n-2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So further solving for numerator: \[(n^2+n)(2n+1) + 3n - 9n^2 = 2n^3 + 3n^2 + n + 3n - 9n^2 = 2n^3 - 6n^2+4n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you are just 2-3 steps away from your answer: Take 2n common out of the \(\large 2n^3 - 6n^2 + 4n\) \[2n(n^2 - 3n + 2)\] Now can you do its factorization @strawberry_militia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After factorization you will get: \[\large 2n(n-1)(n-2)\] so the whole answer becomes: \[\large \color{cyan}{\frac{2n(n-1)(n-2)}{3}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool, why did you choose to solve the last terms first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This can ease the problem.. See if you have one term in fraction and other three terms in simple(not fraction) Then firstly solve for the terms that are not in fraction: Example: \[\frac{3}{5} + 15 - 81 + 86\] So, I think you will solve for other three terms.. Right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

86 - 81 + 15 = 5 + 15 = 20 \[\frac{3}{5} + 20 \implies \frac{103}{5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[n(n+1)(2n+1)/3+n-3n^2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/3-(-n(n+1))???\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you add n-3n^2 and not subtract??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See i have flipped them: if you have: \[\large -x + y\] then you can write it as : \[y - x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it a must?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or your preference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.. Again it is to solve it is in easy way.. See, Tell me: What do you like the most?? adding or subtracting??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think Addition Is easier than Subtraction.. We always do mistakes of - only..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, your legendary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I am not.. I am noticing you for past few days, you are solving all the problems on Summation or Sigma Notation that is too of Sum Of Square Of n natural numbers, sum of first n natural number etc etc.. That is what I call Legendary.. So, you are Legendary...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a struggle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \color{green}{\textbf{Keep It Up..}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{1}^{n} au _{n}=a \sum_{1}^{n}u _{n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not see the point of of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is \(u_n\)???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nth term of the series u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that I mean what is \(u\) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{u=1}^{n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is simply the sum of first n natural numbers;;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here in place of i you are given u.. Can you do it??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do can it, but I don't see the point of re writing it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can write it as: \[a \sum_{u = 1}^{n}(u) = a \times \frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my text made a big deal of showing now \[\sum_{1}^{n} au _{n}=a \sum_{1}^{n}u _{n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see the point. the first makes more sense to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I am not getting what you want to say..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't worry my friend. Help me again soon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Second is the correct one.. Because constants are to be taken out of the Sigma Notation..
