Write the following in summation notation :5+7+9+......+73+75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to find a formula for these numbers using N, where N is the position in the list. I would start with N+4; it works for the first one, but not the second... So try 2N+1... no luck, and not even closer... Can you think of one?

\[\sum_{i=2}^{n}2i+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does the sequence continue? or stop at 75?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{i=2}^{75}2i+1\]

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

\[\sum_{n=2}^{37}2n+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to stop it at 75 = 2i+1

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

I think it should be something like the 2n + 1 = 75 n = 37.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it stops at 75
