Hi Old Timer    laugh

 

Sum of n terms for -3n^2+2n+5

 

nm=1(3m2+2m+5)=nm=13m2+nm=12m+5n=nm=13m2+nm=12m+5nnm=12m=n2(a+L)=n2(2+2n)=n(1+n)=n2+n=3[nm=1m2]+n2+n+5n** the next line was taken from a khan academy video which I will reference at the end.=3[n33+n22+n6]+n2+n+5n=[n33n22n2]+n2+n+5n=2n323n22n2+2n2+2n+10n2 =2n3n2+11n2

You will need to check the algebra, I could easily have made a careless mistake :)
