Let's start from what we know.

Note that:

(sign of last term will be + when n is even and - when n is odd).
Sum is finite so we can split it into two sums, first

with only positive trems (squares of even numbers) and second

with negative (squares of odd numbers). So:

And now the proof.
1) n is even.
In this case, both

and

have

terms. For example if n=8 then:

Generally, there will be:

Now, calculate our sum:



So in this case we prove, that:

2) n is odd.
Here,

has more terms than

. For example if n=7 then:

So there is

terms in

,

terms in

and:

Now, we can calculate our sum:




We consider all possible n so we prove that:

Step-by-step explanation:
Question:- Find

Answer:- we know that

so by putting the value:-

Answer:
Slope:2
Y-int:2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=m(slope)x+b(y-int)
A)
Increase %= (new # - old #)/old * 100
new= 8
old= 5
Increase %= (8-5)/5 * 100
=3/5 * 100
=0.60 * 100
=60% increase
B)
Decrease %= (old # - new #)/old * 100
new= 5
old= 8
Decrease %= (8-5)/8 * 100
= 3/8 * 100
= 0.375 * 100
= 37.5% decrease
ANSWER: a) 60% increase; b) 37.5% decrease
Hope this helps! :) Good luck on your test!!
