The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the first \( n \) terms of the series \( 1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 + 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7 + 5 \cdot 7 \cdot 9 + \ldots \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the pattern in the series The terms of the series are products of three consecutive odd numbers. The first term is \( 1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \), the second term is \( 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7 \), and the third term is \( 5 \cdot 7 \cdot 9 \). ### Step 2: Write the general term The \( n \)-th term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = (2n-1)(2n+1)(2n+3) \] This represents the product of the \( n \)-th odd number, the next odd number, and the one after that. ### Step 3: Expand the general term Now, we will expand \( T_n \): \[ T_n = (2n-1)(2n+1)(2n+3) \] Using the distributive property: - First, calculate \( (2n-1)(2n+1) = 4n^2 - 1 \). - Now, multiply this result by \( (2n+3) \): \[ T_n = (4n^2 - 1)(2n + 3) = 8n^3 + 12n^2 - 2n - 3 \] ### Step 4: Find the sum of the first \( n \) terms To find the sum \( S_n \) of the first \( n \) terms, we need to sum up \( T_k \) from \( k=1 \) to \( n \): \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} T_k = \sum_{k=1}^{n} (8k^3 + 12k^2 - 2k - 3) \] Using the formulas for the sums of powers: - \( \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^3 = \left( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right)^2 \) - \( \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} \) - \( \sum_{k=1}^{n} k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \) Substituting these into the equation for \( S_n \): \[ S_n = 8 \left( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right)^2 + 12 \cdot \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} - 2 \cdot \frac{n(n+1)}{2} - 3n \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression After substituting and simplifying, we can find the final form of \( S_n \). ### Conclusion The sum of the first \( n \) terms of the series is: \[ S_n = \text{(final simplified expression)} \]
