The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the series \( S_n = 1 \cdot n + 2 \cdot (n-1) + 3 \cdot (n-2) + \ldots + (n-1) \cdot 2 + n \cdot 1 \), we can break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the General Term The \( r \)-th term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_r = r \cdot (n - r + 1) \] This is because the first part \( r \) goes from 1 to \( n \) and the second part \( (n - r + 1) \) decreases from \( n \) to 1. ### Step 2: Write the Sum Now, we can express the sum \( S_n \) as: \[ S_n = \sum_{r=1}^{n} T_r = \sum_{r=1}^{n} r \cdot (n - r + 1) \] ### Step 3: Expand the Sum Expanding the term gives: \[ S_n = \sum_{r=1}^{n} (r \cdot n - r^2 + r) \] This can be separated into three different sums: \[ S_n = n \sum_{r=1}^{n} r - \sum_{r=1}^{n} r^2 + \sum_{r=1}^{n} r \] ### Step 4: Use Summation Formulas We can use the formulas for the sums of the first \( n \) natural numbers and the sum of the squares of the first \( n \) natural numbers: 1. The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers: \[ \sum_{r=1}^{n} r = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \] 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 5: Substitute the Formulas Substituting these formulas into our expression for \( S_n \): \[ S_n = n \cdot \frac{n(n+1)}{2} - \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} + \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \] ### Step 6: Combine Like Terms Now, we can combine the terms: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \left( n + 1 - \frac{(2n+1)}{3} \right) \] To simplify, we need a common denominator: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \left( \frac{3(n+1) - (2n + 1)}{3} \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \cdot \frac{n + 2}{3} \] ### Step 7: Final Result Thus, the final result for the sum of the series is: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{6} \]

To find the sum of the series \( S_n = 1 \cdot n + 2 \cdot (n-1) + 3 \cdot (n-2) + \ldots + (n-1) \cdot 2 + n \cdot 1 \), we can break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the General Term The \( r \)-th term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_r = r \cdot (n - r + 1) \] This is because the first part \( r \) goes from 1 to \( n \) and the second part \( (n - r + 1) \) decreases from \( n \) to 1. ...
