question 261

Multiple Choice

Use the summation properties to evaluate the series. The following rules may be needed: $$\begin{array} { l l l } \mathrm { n } & \mathrm { n } & \mathrm { n } \\\sum \mathrm { i } = \frac { \mathrm { n } ( \mathrm { n } + 1 ) } { 2 } ; & \sum \mathrm { i } ^ { 2 } = \frac { \mathrm { n } ( \mathrm { n } + 1 ) ( 2 \mathrm { n } + 1 ) } { 6 } ; & \sum \mathrm { i } ^ { 3 } = \frac { \mathrm { n } ^ { 2 } ( \mathrm { n } + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } \\\mathrm { i } = 1 & \mathrm { i } = 1 & \mathrm { i } = 1\end{array}$$
- $$\sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { 5 } \left( i ^ { 2 } + i - 1 \right)$$
