2 (a) Use standard results from the list of formulae (MF19) to show that

\(\sum_{r=1}^{n} (6r^2 + 6r - 5) = an^3 + bn^2 + cn\),

where \(a, b\) and \(c\) are integers to be determined.

(b) Use the method of differences to find \(\sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{6r^2 + 6r - 5}{r^2 + r}\) in terms of \(n\).

(c) Find also \(\sum_{r=n+1}^{2n} \frac{6r^2 + 6r - 5}{r^2 + r}\) in terms of \(n\).
