A Trickier One: Find the Sum of Series to n terms: \[\large \color{green}{8 + 88 + 888 + 8888 + 88888........................ }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SUM(10n-2n) = 10 x SUM(n) - 2 x SUM(n)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SUM(n) = n(n+1)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8/9 (10/9 (10^n -1) - n ))

Well Done @zscdragon show your steps to all watching this question..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The expression can be rewritten as 8*(1+11+111+...) Now divide 8 by 9, and multiply numbers in parenthesis by 9 to get: 8/9 * (9+99+999+...) Which can be rewritten again as: 8/9 * (10+100+1000+... - (1+1+1...)) Therefore the expression is: 8/9 * (10/9 (10n -1) - n ))
