(a) Compute the sum 101^2 - 97^2 + 93^2 - 89^2 + .... + 5^2 - 1^2
(b) Compute the sum (a +(2n+1)d)^2- (a + (2n)d)^2 +(a + (2n-1)d)^2 - (a+(2n-2)d)^2 + ... + (a+d)^2 - a^2
Didn't you just ask this like 3 minutes ago? ![]()
Also, it has been answered here. But, finding that you probably don't have the time to go over to the link, as you are too busy posting questions every 3 minutes, here is the answer guest has posted:
(a) 101^2 - 97^2 + 93^2 - 89^2 + ... + 5^2 - 1^2 = 101 + 97 + 93 + 89 + ... + 5 + 1 = 1326.
(b) (a + (2n + 1)d)^2 - (a + (2n)d)^2 + ... + (a + d)^2 - a^2 = (a + (2n + 1) d + (a + 2nd + ... + a + d) + a = n(3a + (n + 2)d).
:)
sorry, my computer was lagging so I accidentally posted several, but can you give an explenation so I can do more of these?
a ) is wrong!
Here is your entire sequence grouped in "twos"
(10201 -9409, 8649 -7921, 7225 -6561, 5929 -5329, 4761 -4225, 3721 -3249, 2809 -2401, 2025 -1681, 1369 -1089, 841 -625, 441 -289, 169 -81, 25 -1)
What is the difference between each pair beginning with first? The following:
(792, 728, 664, 600, 536, 472, 408, 344, 280, 216, 152, 88, 24) - This is an arithmetic sequence. How do you sum it up?
[F + L] / 2 * N (number of terms) =Sum, where F=First term, L=Last term, N =Number of terms.
[792 + 24] / 2 * 13 =5,304 - And that is it!.

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)
\(T_1=(5^2 - 1^2) = [(3+2)^2 - (3-2)^2]\\ T_2=(13^2-9^2)= [(11+2)^2 - (11-2)^2]\\ ...\\ T_n= [((8n-5)+2)^2 - ((8n-5)-2)^2]\\ ...\\ T_{13}=(101^2-97^2)\\\quad= [(8*13-5+2)^2 - (8*13-5-2)^2]\\ \quad= [(99+2)^2 - (99-2)^2]\quad \text{just checking... it is good}\\ \)
\(T_n= [((8n-5)+2)^2 - ((8n-5)-2)^2]\\ T_n= [(8n-3)^2 - (8n-7)^2]\\ T_n= [(8n)^2-48n+9)] - [(8n)^2-112n+49)]\\ T_n= [-48n+9)] - [-112n+49)]\\ T_n= -48n+9 +112n-49\\ T_n= 64n-40\\ \text{This is an AP}\\ a=24, d=64,\;n=13\\ S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d]\\ S_{13}=\frac{13}{2}(2*24+12*64]\\ S_{13}=13(24+6*64]\\ S_{13}=13*408\\ S_{13}=5304\\\)
LaTex:
T_1=(5^2 - 1^2) = [(3+2)^2 - (3-2)^2]\\
T_2=(13^2-9^2)= [(11+2)^2 - (11-2)^2]\\
...\\
T_n= [((8n-5)+2)^2 - ((8n-5)-2)^2]\\
...\\
T_{13}=(101^2-97^2)\\\quad= [(8*13-5+2)^2 - (8*13-5-2)^2]\\
\quad= [(99+2)^2 - (99-2)^2]\quad \text{just checking... it is good}\\
T_n= [((8n-5)+2)^2 - ((8n-5)-2)^2]\\
T_n= [(8n-3)^2 - (8n-7)^2]\\
T_n= [(8n)^2-48n+9)] - [(8n)^2-112n+49)]\\
T_n= [-48n+9)] - [-112n+49)]\\
T_n= -48n+9 +112n-49\\
T_n= 64n-40\\
\text{This is an AP}\\
a=24, d=64,\;n=13\\
S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d]\\
S_{13}=\frac{13}{2}(2*24+12*64]\\
S_{13}=13(24+6*64]\\
S_{13}=13*408\\
S_{13}=5304\\
Why ?
You do not need to understand latex.
The latex coding that i have posted is for my benefit, and for the possible benefit of someone who specifically wants to learn LaTex, it is not a part of the answer.
The answer is written in normal maths symbols.
(it is rendered LaTex, but it is not LaTex coding)
