    Use the formula for the sum of the n integers and subtract them.

    for the integers up to 149

    Then do the same for 366

    Then subtract the two results.

    What's your answer? I just gave the formula for the sum of the first n integers.

    Well-known if you're studying sequences.

    You're off by 150. Should be 55986.

    That is why we sum from 1 to 149 and then 1 to 366 and subtract.





    67161-11175=55986

    See?

    Evaluate the sum of the first 125 terms of the series whose nth term is equal to (2 n - 12).
    Could you help me with this one also

    The nth term is 2n-12. So, if we look at it, we are summing up the even integers from -10 to 238.

    -10-8-6-4-2-0+2+4+6+8+... +238

    The nth partial sum is given by

    Where n=125 and
