calculate 1- 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 +____+179 - 180
Answers
Answer:
The answer is -90
Step-by-step explanation:
this can be splited into two Arithmetic progression:
1+3+5...+179 and -2-4-6...-180
Now, we will find sum of them separately using summation formula of AP
S_{n}S
n
= n/2{2a+(n-1)d}
where,S_{n}S
n
= sum of n terms
d = common difference
a = first term of AP
First, we will no of terms i.e. n of both APs
a) 1+3+5...+179 179 = a+(n-1)d
179 = 1+(n-1)2
179-1 = (n-1)2
178/2 = n-1
89+1 = n
n= 90
S_{n}S
n
(a)= n/2{2a+(n-1)d}
= 90/2{2*1 +(90-1)2}
= 45{2+89*2}
=45{2+178}
= 45*180 = 8100
b) -2-4-6...-180 = -(2+4+6...+180)
180 = a+(n-1)d
180 = 2+(n-1)2
180-2 = (n-1)2
178/2 = n-1
89+1 = n
n= 90
S_{n}S
n
(b)= n/2{2a+(n-1)d}
= 90/2{2*2 +(90-1)2}
= 45{4+89*2}
=45{4+178}
= 45*182
= 8190
Now, 1+3+5...+179-2-4-6...-180
S_{n}(a)S
n
(a) +S_{n}(b)S
n
(b) = 8100 - 8190 = -90
Ans is -90
