OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
2+4+6+8+.....+100
200 +198 + 196+....+102
add top tp bottom
202+202+202...+202
there are 50 of these
so
50(202) =

@zzr0ck3r how did u get 202
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
im adding top to bottom
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[\sum_{n=1}^{100}~2n\]
\[2\sum_{n=1}^{100}~n\]
\[2\frac{100(101)}{2}\]
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
2 + 4 + 6 + ........................ + 100
200 + 198 + 196 + ..............................+ 102
200+2 = 202
198+4 = 202
196+6 = 202
......
we will have 50 of these
so
50(202) = 10100

the numbers 1 to 100; that would count off the first 100 even numbers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
waht did u plug in for n?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[\sum_{n=1}^{100}~2n\]
\[2\sum_{n=1}^{100}~n\]
\[2(1+2+3+4+...+100)\]
\[or~\frac{100(2(1)+2(100))}{2}=100(1+100)\]
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the sum of n is a well rehearsed formula:
n, times the sum of the first and last terms; divided in half
