2P2+3P2+4P2+5P2+....+24P2+25P2
\[(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}-1)p2\]
\[\large \sum_{i = 2}^{25}P(i,2)\]This is a good question.
n = 25
Careful, P means "permutations".
Ya never can tell.. sometimes these guys just mean squared.... but I bet you're right.
If @ParthKohli is correct... I entered sum(seq( x nPr 2 , x ,2 ,25)) into my TI-84 and got an answer.
m getting \[\sum_{2}^{25}n(n-1)\]
\[1\times2+2\times3+...+24\times25\]
or \[\sum_{1}^{24}n(n+1)\]
this can be solved.
@hartnn I got the same answer with your minus version
\[\sum_{1}^{24}n^2+n\]
\[=\frac{24(24+1)(48+1)}{6}+\frac{24.25}{2}\]
yup, thats it ^^
hah, and plus version
4*25*49+12*25=5200 did u get 5200 @EulerGroupie ?
I did a sum of sequences of permutations in my calculator and got 5200
@diazmayendra is not even here to understand this.
@diazmayendra medal'd me and moved on to the next question
okk....
but I like it when people back these things up with more info... that's when I learn on stuff that I am weak on.
http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/197392/summation-of-a-finite-series-involving-permutations/197396#197396 I asked it here. ;)
new site added to favorites, thank you @ParthKohli
@EulerGroupie the Mathematics on that site is advanced :)
i not understand this question and i not understand too your answer
