(a)

思路
展开
展开相邻奇数的立方差,对两边求和。左边相消后只剩首尾,右边包含平方和。

Expanding,
(2r+1)3−(2r−1)3==(8r3+12r2+6r+1)−(8r3−12r2+6r−1)24r2+2.
Summing from r=1 to r=n, the left side telescopes:
=(33−13)+(53−33)+(73−53)+⋯+((2n−3)3−(2n−5)3)+((2n−1)3−(2n−3)3)+((2n+1)3−(2n−1)3)(2n+1)3−1.
The expanded pattern is for sufficiently large n; the resulting identity holds for all positive n.
Thus
24r=1∑nr2+2n=24r=1∑nr2==(2n+1)3−1,8n3+12n2+4n4n(n+1)(2n+1).
Dividing by 24 proves
r=1∑nr2=61n(n+1)(2n+1).
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
先把每个平方各计一次,再把偶数项额外计两次。偶数平方又可提出4,便能两次调用(a)。

The odd squares have weight 1 and the even squares weight 3. Therefore
S2n====r=1∑2nr2+2r=1∑n(2r)262n(2n+1)(4n+1)+86n(n+1)(2n+1)3n(2n+1)×[(4n+1)+4(n+1)]31n(2n+1)(8n+5).
Hence a=8,b=5.
解法二
思路
展开
也可先按奇数项与偶数项成对分组,每一对展开后是r的二次式,再求和。
答题过程

Grouping the terms in pairs,
S2n======r=1∑n[(2r−1)2+3(2r)2]r=1∑n(16r2−4r+1)616n(n+1)(2n+1)−42n(n+1)+n3n[8(n+1)(2n+1)−6(n+1)+3]3n(16n2+18n+5)31n(2n+1)(8n+5).
Thus a=8,b=5.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
只保留最高次项的系数,或将各因子除以n后取极限。
