yes @james1107

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@james1107 and then what lol

imqwerty (imqwerty):

\[\large \sum_{n=2}^{10}-2n-3\] the summation is nothing but the sum of all values of \(\color{orangered}{-2n-3}\) on putting n=2 and then 3 and then 4... till 10 the terms that you'll be getting are- put n=2-> \(\color{blueviolet}{-2n-3}\) =-7 put n=3->\(\color{blueviolet}{-2n-3}\) =-9 put n=4-> \(\color{blueviolet}{-2n-3}\) =-11 . . put n=10->\(\color{blueviolet}{-2n-3}\) =-23 note that total number of terms= 9 so all the terms form and arithmetic series \(\color{hotpink}{-7,~-9,~-11,~-13..-23}\) and we need to find sum of all these numbers so apply the formula to find the sum of Arithmetic series- \(\large Sum= \frac{no.~of~terms}{2}\left[2(1^{st} term) +(no.~of~terms -1)(common~difference)\right]\)

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i cant see most of it ;/ @imqwerty i cant see after (common diff

imqwerty (imqwerty):

\(Sum= \frac{no.~of~terms}{2}\left[2(1^{st} term) +(no.~of~terms -1)(common~difference)\right]\)

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

\[Sum = \frac{ 9 }{ 2 }[2(-7) + (9 - 1)(common difference) \]

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

whats common difference ?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

common difference is the difference between any two consecutive terms of the series like-> \((n+1)^{th} \) term - \(n^{th}\) term

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i got -135 ?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yeah thats correct
