Homework Statement
Verify the following summations using Maple (see image).
Homework Equations
None
The Attempt at a Solution
For the first one, I enter
Code:
sum(k^3, k=1..n);
in Maple, and the result is
1/4*(n+1)^4-1/2*(n+1)^3+1/4*(n+1)^2,
which is definitely not the answer. Why is Maple giving me these weird and incorrect answers? The question is rather simple as I am just supposed to verify these summations using a computer, but for some reason, my computer seems to be complicating things.
