i)4+6+9+13+18+..=Sn             4+6+9+13+...=Sn  by subtracting   4+{2+3+4+5+......(n−1)term}=t_n   ∴t_n =4+(((n−1)(n+2))/2)=((n^2 +n+6)/2)  now S_n =(1/2)(1^2 +2^2 +....n^2 )+(1/2)(1+2+..)+3n  =(1/(12))(n+1)(2n+1)+(1/4)n(n+1)+3n

from this solution i guess,   suppose (1+2+3+4+...n)  =((n(n+1))/2)  so where did u now get (n−1)(n+2) instead   (n−1)(n)
$${from}\:{this}\:{solution}\:{i}\:{guess},\:\:\:{suppose}\:\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{4}+…{n}\right) \\ $$$$=\frac{{n}\left({n}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${so}\:{where}\:{did}\:{u}\:{now}\:{get}\:\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\:{instead}\:\:\:\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({n}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$
