Expand the summation.
The given equation is . We can split the summation into two parts:
Evaluate each part of the summation.
For the first part, is a constant with respect to , so:
For the second part, we use the formula for the sum of the first natural numbers, :
Substitute the evaluated sums back into the original equation and solve for .
The value of is .
Part b
Substitute the value of into the expression.
Using from part (a), the expression becomes:
