Expanding,
(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)=r3+6r2+11r+6.
Therefore
r=1∑n(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)===41n2(n+1)2+n(n+1)(2n+1)+211n(n+1)+6n41n(n(n+1)2+4(n+1)(2n+1)+22(n+1)+24)41n(n3+10n2+35n+50).
Hence b=10, c=35, d=50.

Write
(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)2=r+1A+r+2B+r+3C.
Multiplying by the common denominator and setting r=−1,−2,−3 gives A=1, B=−2, C=1. Hence
(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)2=r+11−r+22+r+31.
For n≥6, the first and last three terms display the cancellation below. For 1≤n≤5, directly cancelling the corresponding terms gives the same result. By the method of differences,
r=1∑n(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)2=(21−32+41)+(31−42+51)+(41−52+61)+⋯+(n−11−n2+n+11)+(n1−n+12+n+21)+(n+11−n+22+n+31).
The interior coefficients cancel since 1−2+1=0. The surviving terms give
r=1∑n(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)2==21−31−n+21+n+3161−n+21+n+31.

Taking n→∞ in (b),
r=1∑∞(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)2=61.
