Question

Find the sum of the first 50positive even integers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the first 50 even integers can easily be computed using the formula sum = N(N+1) where N = 50. As an example: What is the sum of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. N here is 6 so sum = 6(6+1) = 42. Now using the formula when N = 50; sum = 50(50+1) gives 2550 as the sum.
