Solution
The given series is a geometric series where each term is the cube of the corresponding term in the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series can be calculated using the formula:
S_n = a * (r^n - 1) / (r - 1)
where:
- S_n is the sum of the first n terms,
- a is the first term,
- r is the common ratio,
- n is the number of terms.
In this case, a = 11 (the first term), r = 121 / 11 = 11 (the common ratio), and n = 5 (the number of terms).
So, the sum of the first 5 terms is:
S_5 = 11 * (11^5 - 1) / (11 - 1) = 11 * (161051 - 1) / 10 = 11 * 161050 / 10 = 177155
So, the sum of the first 5 terms of the series is 177155.
