You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.
It is from 3 to 5 minutes work for the person who has Excel in his/(or her) computer.

Alternatively, I can re-write the sum in this form


  2 + 4(3)^2 + . . .  + 22(21)^2 = 

= 1 + 3^3    + . . .  + 21^3   + 

+ 1 + 3^2    +  . . . + 21^2


and then refer you to my lesson

    - Mathematical induction for sequences other than arithmetic or geometric, Problem 1  and Problem 2

in this site, where you will find the way on how to proceed further.

Since your problem is above the average school Math,  I assume that your level corresponds to the problem's level,
and you will be able to complete it on your own.


            Good luck and happy learning ! !
