bwaysically

#

you can split the sum into 3 sums

#

apply the standard summations

#

and equate that to n(n+1)(n+2)(4n-5)

#

and compare coeffs

#

can you show me ur working out

hard oasis
#

lemme try it

#

@sacred mountain

#

i got some values idk if they're right tho

#

A = 16, B = -28/3 C = -152/9

sacred mountain
#

thats the answer

hard oasis
#

oh wait

#

idk why i said 3 x 1/12 is 4/12

sacred mountain
#

can i see ur working out

#

there is a working out provided but it dont make sense

#

to me

hard oasis
#

@sacred mountain

sacred mountain
#

i dont get that part

hard oasis
#

ive just compared the coefficients on each side

#

if the coeff of n^2 is A/4 on the LHS, and 4 on the RHS

#

then A/4 = 4

sacred mountain
#

how did you get A/4 = 4

hard oasis
#

see this

#

coefficient of n^2 in LHS = A/4 right

#

coefficient of n^2 in RHS = 4

sacred mountain
#

oohhhh

#

alrr

#

yh
