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.

Find two consecutive numbers whose squares differ by 45
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The 2 numbers are 22 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and x+1

according to the question:

(x+1)^2 - x^2 = 45

x^2+1+2x - x^2 = 45

2x + 1 = 45

2x= 44

x = 22

the other number is x+1 = 22+1 = 23

therefore, the two consecutive numbers are 22 and 23

Hope it helped u....
