What is the sum of the terms of the series (−1) + (−2) + (−3) + . . . + (−10)?

1 answer:

8 0

You can solve this problem by using the Gauss method. The Gauss method is a method where you can add the first and last numbers together, and then multiply by how many times that appears. Here, the sum of the first and last number is -11. In this sequence, it would appear ten times (since there are ten terms and the terms are used twice in every eleven). -11 * 5 is -55, so that means the answer to this question is -55.

Answer: $3 \times 10^{13}$

Explanation:

Highlight the first digit on the very left (2). The 7 right next to it means we'll round that 2 up to a 3. Every other digit becomes a zero.

The number 27,895,168,401,112 rounds to 30,000,000,000,000 which is the number 30 trillion.

It converts to the scientific notation $3 \times 10^{13}$ because we basically start with 3.0 and move the decimal point 13 spots to the right to arrive at 30 trillion as shown above.
