Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $n^{th}$ term is $a_n = n(n + 1) = n^2 + n$. The sum of $n$ terms is $S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_k = \sum_{k=1}^{n} (k^2 + k)$. Using the standard summation formulas $\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6}$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{n} k = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$: $S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} + \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$ Factor out $\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$: $S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \left( \frac{2n + 1}{3} + 1 \right)$ $S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \left( \frac{2n + 1 + 3}{3} \right) = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \left( \frac{2n + 4}{3} \right)$ $S_n = \frac{n(n + 1) \cdot 2(n + 2)}{6} = \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)}{3}$
