Homework Statement


1.1!+2.2!+3.3!...n terms

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution


The first part of every term is in AP whose cd is 1. Also the nth term of this series is given as n.n! If I expand it it becomes n.n(n-1)(n-2)...1

Now
[itex]S_n=\sum t_n \\<br /> = \sum n.n(n-1)(n-2)...1[/itex]

But now how do I compute this summation?

Consider n = (n+1)-1

I didn't get you. What you said was to replace all the n's with (n+1)-1 but I didn't find it to be helpful. Can you please give me some more hints?

Not all n's!

n.n! = [(n+1)-1]n!
