Question 15

The sum of $$(1\times4)+(2\times7)+(3\times10)+(4\times13)+\cdots$$ for $$49$$ terms is equal to

Solution

The $$n$$th term is $$n(3n+1)=3n^2+n$$. Therefore the sum is $$3\sum_{n=1}^{49}n^2+\sum_{n=1}^{49}n$$. Using the standard sums gives $$3\cdot\frac{49\cdot50\cdot99}{6}+\frac{49\cdot50}{2}=122500$$.
