To prove :

$\frac{1 \times 2 ^ 2 + 2 \times 3^2 + ... + n \times (n+1)^2}{1^2 \times 2 + 2 ^2 \times 3 + ...+ n^2 \times ( n+1)} = \frac{3n+5}{3n+1}$

the nth term of numerator $=n(n+1)^2=n^3+2n^2+n$

nth term of the denominator $=n^2(n+1)=n^3+n^2$

$RHS:\frac{1 \times 2 ^ 2 + 2 \times 3^2 + ... + n \times (n+1)^2}{1^2 \times 2 + 2 ^2 \times 3 + ...+ n^2 \times ( n+1)}..........................1$

$=\frac{\sum _{k=1}^{n} a_k}{\sum _{k=1}^{n} a_k}=\frac{\sum _{k=1}^{n} k^{3}+2k^2+k}{\sum _{k=1}^{n} (k^3+k^2)}$

Numerator :

$S_n=\sum _{k=1}^{n} k^3+2\sum _{k=1}^{n} k^2+\sum _{k=1}^{n} k$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ]^2+\frac{2.n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ]^2+\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{3}+\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ] (\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+\frac{2(2n+1)}{3}+1)$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ] \left ( \frac{3n^2+3n+8n+4+6}{6} \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ] \left ( \frac{3n^2+11n+10}{6} \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ( 3n^2+11n+10 \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ( 3n^2+6n+5n+10 \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ( 3n(n+2)+5(n+2) \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ((n+2)(3n+5) \right )$

$=\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)(3n+5)}{12}........................................................2$

Denominator :

$S_n=\sum _{k=1}^{n} k^3+\sum _{k=1}^{n} k^2$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ]^2+\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ]^2+\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ] (\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+\frac{2n+1}{3})$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ] \left ( \frac{3n^2+3n+4n+2}{6} \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right ] \left ( \frac{3n^2+7n+2}{6} \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ( 3n^2+7n+2 \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ( 3n^2+6n+n+2 \right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ( 3n(n+2)+1(n+2)\right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)}{12} \right ] \left ( (n+2)(3n+1)\right )$

$=\left [ \frac{n(n+1)(n+2)(3n+1)}{12} \right ].....................................3$

From equation 1,2,3,we have

$\frac{1 \times 2 ^ 2 + 2 \times 3^2 + ... + n \times (n+1)^2}{1^2 \times 2 + 2 ^2 \times 3 + ...+ n^2 \times ( n+1)}$ $=\frac{\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)(3n+5)}{12}}{\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)(3n+1)}{12}}$

$=\frac{3n+5}{3n+1}$

Hence, the above expression is proved.
