Answer

$\Rightarrow S_{1}=1$ $\Rightarrow S_{2}=5$ $\Rightarrow S_{3}=14$ $\Rightarrow S_{4}=30$ $\Rightarrow S_{5}=55$ $\Rightarrow S_{6}=91$

Work Step by Step

$S_{n}=\sum ^{n}_{k=1}k^{2}=\dfrac {n\left( n+1\right) \left( 2n+1\right) }{6}$ $\Rightarrow S_{1}=\dfrac {1\times \left( 1+1\right) \left( 2\times 1+1\right) }{6}=1$ $\Rightarrow S_{2}=\dfrac {2\times \left( 2+1\right) \left( 2\times 2+1\right) }{6}=5$ $\Rightarrow S_{3}=\dfrac {3\times \left( 3+1\right) \left( 2\times 3+1\right) }{6}=14$ $\Rightarrow S_{4}=\dfrac {4\times \left( 4+1\right) \left( 2\times 4+1\right) }{6}=30$ $\Rightarrow S_{5}=\dfrac {5\times \left( 5+1\right) \left( 2\times 5+1\right) }{6}=55$ $\Rightarrow S_{6}=\dfrac {6\times \left( 6+1\right) \left( 2\times 6+1\right) }{6}=91$
