Question 350075: Please help me solve this equation: Use the Gauss technique to determine the sum for the following:
(a) 1+2+3+...+250
(b) 5+10+15+...+305
Answer by Jk22(389) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(a)S1= 1 +2 +3+...+ 250 |sum with the series reversed, 250 terms equals to
_____+250+249+248+..+1 | 251
-------------------------
=250*251=62750=2*S1 => S1=31375
(b) 5+10+15+...+305=5*(1+2+3+...61)=5*S2,
S2=__1+2+3+...61
+S2=61+60+.....1
------------------
=62*61=2*S2
=>S2=31*61=1830+61=1891 => 5*S2=5000+4000+450+5=9455(=310*313/2)
