Example D
Find the sum of the series 1 · 2 + 2 .3+3. 4+ ...+ n(n + 1).
We have k(k + 1) = (k + 1)(2); therefore, from the fundamental theorem

Difference Equations
of the summation calculus, we obtain
|n+1
E k(k +1 = >(k + 1)(2) = A-1(k + 1)(2)
k=1
k=1
n+1
= 1/3(k + 1)(3)
(1.268)

= 1/3(n + 2)(3) – 1½ · 2(3)
= 1/3(n + 2)(n + 1)n.
