Solution: We can use a property of the sum of the first n terms of arithmetic progression: it must be quadratic, and the constant coefficient term is 0, that is,
The sum of the first n terms is sn = an 2+bn, where a and b are constants, and then it is relatively simple. The process is as follows:
sm+n=a(m+n)^2+b(m+n)…………( 1)
Sm=Am^2+Bm=n………………(2)
Sn=An^2+Bn=m………………(3)
(2)-(3)
A(m+n)(m-n)+B(m-n)=n-m
that is
[A(m+n)+B+ 1](m-n)=0, that is, [A(m+n)+B](m-n)=-(m+n).
sm+n=a(m+n)^2+b(m+n)=[a(m+n)+b](m-n)=-(m+n)
