Thanks guest, here is a little more insight for others to see what you have done.

 

(a) Compute the sum 101^2 - 97^2 + 93^2 - 89^2 + .... + 5^2 - 1^2

 

I paired them first

(101^2 - 97^2) + (93^2 - 89^2) + .... + (5^2 - 1^2)

 

then turned them around

(5^2 - 1^2)+ ..................   +  (93^2 - 89^2) +  (101^2 - 97^2) 

 

T1=(5212)=[(3+2)2(32)2]T2=(13292)=[(11+2)2(112)2]...Tn=[((8n5)+2)2((8n5)2)2]...T13=(1012972)=[(8135+2)2(81352)2]=[(99+2)2(992)2]just checking... it is good

 

Tn=[((8n5)+2)2((8n5)2)2]Tn=[(8n3)2(8n7)2]Tn=[(8n)248n+9)][(8n)2112n+49)]Tn=[48n+9)][112n+49)]Tn=48n+9+112n49Tn=64n40This is an APa=24,d=64,n=13Sn=n2(2a+(n1)d]S13=132(224+1264]S13=13(24+664]S13=13408S13=5304
