The correct Answer is:
To find the sum to n terms of the series \(1 \times 2 + 2 \times 3 + 3 \times 4 + 4 \times 5 + \ldots + n \times (n + 1)\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the nth term The nth term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = n \times (n + 1) \] ### Step 2: Write the sum of the series The sum of the first n terms, denoted as \(S_n\), can be written as: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \times (k + 1) \] ### Step 3: Expand the summation We can expand the term inside the summation: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} (k^2 + k) \] This can be separated into two summations: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 + \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \] ### Step 4: Use summation formulas We will use the known formulas for the summations: 1. The sum of the first n natural numbers: \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n} k = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] 2. The sum of the squares of the first n natural numbers: \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the formulas into the expression for \(S_n\) Substituting these formulas into our expression for \(S_n\): \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} + \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the expression To combine the two terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator is 6: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} + \frac{3n(n + 1)}{6} \] Combining the fractions: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1 + 3)}{6} \] This simplifies to: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 4)}{6} \] ### Step 7: Factor out common terms Factoring out the common term: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1) \cdot 2(n + 2)}{6} \] This can be simplified further: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)}{3} \] ### Final Result Thus, the sum of the first n terms of the series is: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)}{3} \] ---

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