What is the sum of the first 70 consecutive odd numbers? Explain.
expeople1 [14]

The sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared! So, the short answer is that the sum of the first 70 odd numbers is 70 squared, i.e. 4900.

Allow me to prove the result: odd numbers come in the form 2n-1, because 2n is always even, and the number immediately before an even number is always odd.

So, if we sum the first N odd numbers, we have

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1

The first sum is the sum of all integers from 1 to N, which is N(N+1)/2. We want twice this sum, so we have

\displaystyle 2\sum_{i=1}^N i = 2\cdot\dfrac{N(N+1)}{2}=N(N+1)

The second sum is simply the sum of N ones:

\underbrace{1+1+1\ldots+1}_{N\text{ times}}=N

So, the final result is

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1 = N(N+1)-N = N^2+N-N = N^2

which ends the proof.

Solve for x . Leave your answer in the simplest form
Alisiya [41]

Hello!

Here we are given a composite shape, meaning that we can divide this shape up into ways that we are given formulas to solve for legs and such.

I can see here that this can be divided into a triangle and a rectangle using a horizontal line.

The leg lengths of this triangle would be 9, because it is congruent to the bottom side of the rectangle, and 7, because it is the left side minus the right side.

This would also make a right triangle, meaning we could solve for the hypotenuse utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

6^2+7^2=c^2

36+49=c^2

c^2=85

c=\sqrt{85}

Which is in simplest radical form.

Hope this helps!
