Given that \(A_k = \frac {k(k - 1)}2\cos\frac {k(k - 1)\pi}2,\) find \(A_{19} + A_{20} + \cdots + A_{98}.\)
∑[k*(k - 1) /2 *cos (k*(k - 1) *pi /2), k, 19, 98] = - 40
A1 - A18 = (0, -1, -3, 6, 10, -15, -21, 28, 36, -45, -55, 66, 78, -91, -105, 120, 136, -153)
A19 - A98 =(-171, 190, 210, -231, -253, 276, 300, -325, -351, 378, 406, -435, -465, 496, 528, -561, -595, 630, 666, -703, -741, 780, 820, -861, -903, 946, 990, -1035, -1081, 1128, 1176, -1225, -1275, 1326, 1378, -1431, -1485, 1540, 1596, -1653, -1711, 1770, 1830, -1891, -1953, 2016, 2080, -2145, -2211, 2278, 2346, -2415, -2485, 2556, 2628, -2701, -2775, 2850, 2926, -3003, -3081, 3160, 3240, -3321, -3403, 3486, 3570, -3655, -3741, 3828, 3916, -4005, -4095, 4186, 4278, -4371, -4465, 4560, 4656, -4753)>>Total = - 40
Note: somebody should ckeck this. Thanks.
