Find sum of N terms of the series 3^3 – 2^3, 5^3 – 4^3, 7^3 – 6^3, …

Last Updated : 16 Aug, 2022

Given a positive integer N, the task is to find the sum upto Nth term of the series:

3³ – 2³, 5³ – 4³, 7³ – 6³, …., till N terms

Examples:

Input: N = 10
Output: 4960

Input: N = 1
Output: 19

Naive Approach:

Initialize two int variables odd and even. Odd with value 3 and even with value 2.
Now Iterate the for loop n times each time will calculate the current term and add it to the sum.
In each iteration increase odd and even value with 2.
Return the resultant sum

C++

// series 3^3-2^3, 5^3 - 4^3, 7^3 - 6^3, ...
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return sum of
// N term of the series
 
int findSum(int N)
{
    // Initialize the variable
    int Odd = 3;
    int Even = 2;
    int Sum = 0;
 
    // Run a loop for N number of times
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Calculate the current term
        // and add it to the sum
        Sum += (pow(Odd, 3)
                - pow(Even, 3));
 
        // Increase the odd and
        // even with value 2
        Odd += 2;
        Even += 2;
    }
    return Sum;
}

{
    int N = 10;
    cout << findSum(N);
}

Output

Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(1), since no extra space has been taken.

Efficient Approach:

The sequence is formed by using the following pattern.

For any value N the generalise form of the given sequence is-

S_N = 4*N³ + 9*N² + 6*N

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find the sum of N terms of the
// series 3^3-2^3, 5^3 - 4^3, 7^3 - 6^3, ...
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return sum of
// N term of the series
 
int findSum(int N)
{
    return 4 * pow(N, 3) + 9 * pow(N, 2) + 6 * N;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 10;
    cout << findSum(N);
}
