Sum the series to n terms - 1.4.7 + 4.7.10 + 7.10.13 +...........................to n terms.
@mukushla
\[a_n=(3n+1)(3n+4)(3n+7)\]
\[n=0,1,2,...\]
i think there will be (3n-2) in place of 3n+7
n starts from 0 ... check again :)
but n is natural no.
it doesn't matter to use natural or start from 0 ha?
because the result is same
these series are applicable only when n is natural.
ok we turn it to natural...\[a_n=(3n-2)(3n+1)(3n+4)\]\[n=1,2,3,...\]
now?
one way (uglyiest) is to multiply all of brackets and using \(\sum k\) , \(\sum k^2\) and \(\sum k^3\)
but there are nice methods...
??
guys what do u think?
after simplifying u have\[a_n=27n^3+27n^2-18n-8\]
i have solved like this- \[a_{n} = 27n^{3}+27n^{2}-18n-8\] \[S_{n}=\sum{a_{n}}\] \[S_{n}=27\sum{n^{3}}+27\sum{n^{2}}-18\sum{n}-8n\]
exactly
did i interrupt mukushla? I think I did 'answer snipping' that is a hard one for me .. sorry you may continue though I promise I will interrupt at last
\[\sum k^3=(\frac{n(n+1)}{2})^2\]\[\sum k^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\]\[\sum k=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]
i know all these values, continue.........
@mathslover np ... :)
\[S_n=\frac{n}{4}(27n^3+90n^2+45n-50)\]this is what u will got after simplifying according to god of wolf
can it be simplified more
???
it must divisible by 4 so yeah i think it can...let me ask wolf
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%283n-2%29%283n%2B1%29%283n%2B4%29%283n%2B7%29%2F12+%2B+56%2F12
it is the ans.
see its expanded form and match with yours.
so its ok
yes it is correct
how will you simplify it further?
The above series can be written in the form: tn = (1+3n)^3 -9(1+3n), where n=1,2,3...
thanks i got it.
