The correct Answer is:
To find the sum to n terms of the series \(1 \times 2 \times 3 + 2 \times 3 \times 4 + 3 \times 4 \times 5 + \ldots\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the nth term of the series The nth term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = n \times (n + 1) \times (n + 2) \] This is because: - For \(n = 1\), \(T_1 = 1 \times 2 \times 3\) - For \(n = 2\), \(T_2 = 2 \times 3 \times 4\) - For \(n = 3\), \(T_3 = 3 \times 4 \times 5\) ### Step 2: Expand the nth term Now, we expand \(T_n\): \[ T_n = n(n + 1)(n + 2) \] Expanding this gives: \[ T_n = n(n^2 + 3n + 2) = n^3 + 3n^2 + 2n \] ### Step 3: Sum the series We need to find the sum \(S_n\) of the first n terms: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} T_k = \sum_{k=1}^{n} (k^3 + 3k^2 + 2k) \] This can be split into three separate summations: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^3 + 3 \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 + 2 \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \] ### Step 4: Use known formulas for summations We use the following formulas for the sums: 1. \(\sum_{k=1}^{n} k = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\) 2. \(\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6}\) 3. \(\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^3 = \left(\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\right)^2\) Substituting these into our expression for \(S_n\): \[ S_n = \left(\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\right)^2 + 3 \cdot \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} + 2 \cdot \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression Now we simplify each term: 1. The first term becomes: \[ \frac{n^2(n + 1)^2}{4} \] 2. The second term becomes: \[ \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{2} \] 3. The third term becomes: \[ n(n + 1) \] Combining these, we have: \[ S_n = \frac{n^2(n + 1)^2}{4} + \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{2} + n(n + 1) \] ### Step 6: Factor out common terms Factoring out \(\frac{n(n + 1)}{4}\): \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{4} \left(n(n + 1) + 2(2n + 1) + 4\right) \] ### Step 7: Combine and simplify Now we simplify the expression inside the brackets: \[ n(n + 1) + 4n + 2 + 4 = n^2 + n + 4n + 6 = n^2 + 5n + 6 \] Thus, we have: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(n^2 + 5n + 6)}{4} \] ### Final Result The sum to n terms of the series is: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(n^2 + 5n + 6)}{4} \]

To find the sum to n terms of the series \(1 \times 2 \times 3 + 2 \times 3 \times 4 + 3 \times 4 \times 5 + \ldots\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the nth term of the series The nth term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = n \times (n + 1) \times (n + 2) \] This is because: ...
