Question
Write the sum of the series $2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ... + 2n$.
✓
Answer
Let $T_n$ be the term of the given series and $S_n$ be the sum of the given series.
$\therefore\ \text{T}_\text{n}=2\text{n}$
$\therefore\ \text{S}_\text{n}=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{k}=1}\text{T}_\text{k}=\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{k}=1}2\text{k}$
$=2\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{k}=1}\text{k}$
$=2\Big[\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}\Big]$
$=\text{n}(\text{n}+1)$
Hence, $\text{S}_\text{n}=\text{n}(\text{n}+1)$
