Question

What is the sum of the first 150 odd positive integers? Show work please!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

11325.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: address the formula, input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values:

The number series 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . . , 149, 150.

The first term a = 1

The common difference d = 1

Total number of terms n = 150

Step 2: apply the input parameter values in the formula

Sum = n/2 x (a + Tn)

= 150/2 x (1 + 150)

= 22650/2

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . . + 149 + 150 = 11325

Therefore, 11325 is the sum of positive integers up to 150.
