Problem
(a) Use standard results from the list of formulae (MF19) to find r=1∑n(3r2+3r+1) in terms of n, simplifying your answer.
(3)
(b) Show that
r31−(r+1)31=r3(r+1)33r2+3r+1
and hence use the method of differences to find r=1∑nr3(r+1)33r2+3r+1.
(5)
(c) Deduce the value of r=1∑∞r3(r+1)33r2+3r+1.

题目中文翻译
(a) 利用公式表(MF19)中的标准结果,用 n 表示 r=1∑n(3r2+3r+1),并化简你的答案。
(3)
(b) 证明
r31−(r+1)31=r3(r+1)33r2+3r+1
并由此利用差分法求 r=1∑nr3(r+1)33r2+3r+1。
(5)
(c) 推导 r=1∑∞r3(r+1)33r2+3r+1 的值。

原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

Using the standard sum formulae,
r=1∑n(3r2+3r+1)====21n(n+1)(2n+1)+23n(n+1)+n21n(n+1)(2n+4)+nn(n+1)(n+2)+nn3+3n2+3n.

思路
展开
通分并展开立方差证明恒等式,再逐项写出相消。

r31−(r+1)31==r3(r+1)3(r+1)3−r3r3(r+1)33r2+3r+1,
as required. Hence
Sn==(1−231)+(231−331)+(331−431)+⋯+((n−2)31−(n−1)31)+((n−1)31−n31)+(n31−(n+1)31)1−(n+1)31.
The expansion illustrates cancellation for sufficiently large n; the resulting formula also holds directly for smaller positive n.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
承接部分和,取n趋于无穷,余项倒数趋于零。
