The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of summing up the series \( S = 1 + (1 + 2) + (1 + 2 + 3) + \ldots + (1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + n) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the nth term The nth term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_r = 1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + r \] This is the sum of the first \( r \) natural numbers. ### Step 2: Use the formula for the sum of the first r natural numbers The formula for the sum of the first \( r \) natural numbers is: \[ T_r = \frac{r(r + 1)}{2} \] ### Step 3: Write the total sum S Now, we can express the total sum \( S \) as: \[ S = \sum_{r=1}^{n} T_r = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{r(r + 1)}{2} \] ### Step 4: Factor out the constant We can factor out \( \frac{1}{2} \) from the sum: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{r=1}^{n} r(r + 1) \] ### Step 5: Expand the summation Now, we can expand \( r(r + 1) \): \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{r=1}^{n} (r^2 + r) = \frac{1}{2} \left( \sum_{r=1}^{n} r^2 + \sum_{r=1}^{n} r \right) \] ### Step 6: Use the formulas for the sums We know the formulas for these sums: - The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers: \[ \sum_{r=1}^{n} r = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] - The sum of the squares of the first \( n \) natural numbers: \[ \sum_{r=1}^{n} r^2 = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} \] ### Step 7: Substitute the formulas into S Substituting these formulas into our expression for \( S \): \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} + \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \right) \] ### Step 8: Simplify the expression Now we can simplify: \[ S = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} + \frac{3n(n + 1)}{6} \right) \] \[ = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1 + 3)}{6} \] \[ = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 4)}{6} \] \[ = \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)}{12} \] ### Final Result Thus, the sum \( S \) is: \[ S = \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)}{6} \]
