Find the sum of the first 100 even numbers. What strategy did you use?
( I don't get this part at all) Answer by waynest(281) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d = 8 - 5 = 3
sum = n/2(2a + (n - 1)d
sum = 100/2 (2(5) + (100 -1)3)
sum = 50 (10 + (99)3)
sum = 50(10 + 297)
sum = 50(307)
sum = 15350
