    okaaaay, this makes me sound incredibly stoopid butttt...i was going over some exam questions that I did earlier on this year, & I cant for the life of me figure out how I got this step in my answer! :/ it was in the 1999 paper 1, question 5 (c)

    its a proof my induction question, and in my answer i went straight from
    k/6 ( k + 1 )( 2k + 1 ) + 6/6 ( k + 1 )2

    to
    k+1/6 [ k( 2k + 1 ) + 6( k + 1 )]

    & I cant remember how I did this! can anyone give me a hand with it cos I know its the right answer but I cant bloody remember it.. :confused: :L

    (i couldnt figure out how ta do fractions & squares on this so the little writing is fractions & the big is squares..!:rolleyes:)

    (k+1)/6 is a common factor in your first expression. Can you see the rest now?
