Question #ff053 Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Polynomials in Standard Form 1 Answer Cesareo R. Dec 1, 2016 #1/3 n ( 4 n^2-1)# Explanation: We know that #S_(2n)=sum_(k=1)^n(2k)^2+sum_(k=0)^(n-1)(2k+1)^2=sum_(k=1)^(2n)k^2# then #sum_(k=0)^(n-1)(2k+1)^2=S_(2n)-4 S_n# Here #S_n=n^3/3+n^2/2+n/6# so #S_(2n)-4 S_n=1/3 n ( 4 n^2-1)# Answer link Related questions What is a Polynomial?
