Problem

Evaluate the finite sum T(n)=∑k=1n(3k3+2k2−5k).T(n)=\sum_{k=1}^{n} \bigl(3k^{3}+2k^{2}-5k\bigr). Proceed as follows: (i) Separate T(n)T(n) into three individual series and express each in terms of nn using standard formulae. (ii) Simplify your answer from part (i) to obtain T(n)T(n) as a single polynomial in nn. (iii) Hence find T(10)T(10).
