What can I learn in finding the sum of consecutive numbers?
Helga [31]

Answer:

By using Carl Gauss's clever formula, (n / 2)(first number + last number) = sum, where n is the number of integers, we learned how to add consecutive numbers quickly. We now know that the sum of the pairs in consecutive numbers starting with the first and last numbers is equal.

How do you find the vertex of this parabola? I just plotted the points down on a graphing calculator, but I figure there's a bet
Sergio039 [100]
When you look at the table, find the y value that has equivalent values on both sides. For example, the y value for the vertex here is 10. After it, the values are 7,-2, and 17, and above it, the values are 7 and -2. This value should also be either the largest y value or smallest y value (depending on whether the parabola opens up or down).
