Yes, but it still doesn't change anything as 1 n = 1 with any value of n .
Nice solution! Thanks!

How do you get (2014*2015)/2 ??
Log in to reply
2014 + 1 = 2015; 2013 + 2 = 2015... and 2014/2 = 1007. So, 2014 + 2013 + 2012 + 2011 + 2010 + 2009 + 2008 +...+ 2 + 1 = 2015 x 1007

right
what is going on?
The sum can be written like this form n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 7 ( 2 n ) 2 − n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 7 ( 2 n − 1 ) 2 , squaring both sides and using properties of the sum we have n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 7 4 n 2 − ( 4 n 2 − 4 n + 1 ) = n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 7 4 n − 1 , using properties of the sum one more time 4 n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 7 n − n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 7 1 , using the formulas k = 1 ∑ n k = 2 n ( n + 1 ) k = 1 ∑ n 1 = n , so 4 2 ( 1 0 0 7 ) ( 1 0 0 8 ) − 1 0 0 7 = 4 0 4 3 1 0 5 , then the last three digits are 1 0 5
nice explanations
Here, if from the start, we evaluate consecutive two terms of the series, we get an AP as: 4 0 2 7 , 4 0 2 3 , . . . . 3 .
Let us take a , l , d , n as the first term, last term, common difference and no. of terms of the AP resp.
Let a n = 3 ⟹ a + ( n − 1 ) d = 3 ⟹ 4 0 2 7 + ( n − 1 ) ( − 4 ) = 3 ⟹ 4 ( n − 1 ) = 4 0 2 4 ⟹ n − 1 = 1 0 0 6 ⟹ n = 1 0 0 7
So, there are 1007 terms in the AP as 3 is the last term.
Now, Sum = 2 n ( a + l ) = 2 1 0 0 7 ( 3 + 4 0 2 7 ) = 2 1 0 0 7 × 4 0 3 0 = ( 1 0 0 7 × 2 0 1 5 ) = 2 0 2 9 1 0 5
Here, we have the last 3 digits of the sum as 1 0 5 .
Nice solution! Thanks!
best solution
taking two terms and solving ,we get an A.P. i.e. 4027 + 4023 + 4019 + .......................+3 , now , calculate no. of terms by p = a + ( n-1 )d , here , p =3 ,a=4027 , d = (-4) , solving we get n=1007 , now , sum of series = n [ 2a +(n-1) d] /2 , putting values we get sum =2029105 , so , last digits are 105
Note that 2 2 − 1 2 = 3 , 4 2 − 3 2 = 7 , 6 2 − 5 2 = 1 1
Generally: ( 2 k ) 2 − ( 2 k − 1 ) 2 = 3 + 4 ( k − 1 ) = 4 k − 1 .
So we can evaluate the last one: 4 ( 1 0 0 7 ) − 1 = 4 0 2 7 .
Now, we can sum that with the first one ( 3 ), and we get 4 0 3 0 . See that this will be repeating 5 0 3 times until you get to 1 0 0 8 2 − 1 0 0 7 2 . Evaluating it similarly, as above, it is equal to 2 0 1 5 . In conclusion, our answer is 4 0 3 0 ⋅ 5 0 3 + 2 0 1 5 = 2 0 2 9 1 0 5 , and so our answer is 1 0 5 .
2 0 1 4 2 − 2 0 1 3 2 + 2 0 1 2 2 − 2 0 1 1 2 + . . . . . + 2 2 − 1 2 = ( 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 ) ( 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 ) + ( 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 ) ( 2 0 1 2 − 2 0 1 1 ) + . . . + ( 2 + 1 ) ( 2 − 1 ) = ( 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 ) × 1 + ( 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 ) × 1 + . . . + ( 2 + 1 ) × 1 = 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 + 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 + . . . + 2 + 1 = 2 2 0 1 4 × 2 0 1 5 = 2 0 2 9 1 0 5 so, 105
2²-1=3= a1 ; 4²-3²=7= a2 ; 6²-5²=11= a3 ; 8²-7²=15 = a4 ; ... assim há uma P.A (progressão aritmética) de razão 4 onde o an pode ser escrito com [(2n)² - (2n-1)²] com n variando de 1 a 1007 ou uma P.A de razão 4 cujo a1 = 3 e possua 1007 termos. Assim recorrendo a soma de P.A S=(a1+ an)*n/2 = (3+4027)1007/2= 2.029.105
Taking the whole series by pairs of two, we get the required sum to be:3+7+11+....+4027 This sums up to (2015)(1007) = 2029105.
2 0 1 4 2 − 2 0 1 3 2 + 2 0 1 2 2 − 2 0 1 1 2 + . . . + 2 2 − 1 2 = ( 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 ) ( 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 ) + ( 2 0 1 2 − 2 0 1 1 ) ( 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 ) + . . . + ( 2 − 1 ) ( 2 + 1 ) = 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 + 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 + . . . + 2 + 1 = 2 ( 1 + 2 0 1 4 ) ∗ 2 0 1 4 = 2 0 2 9 1 0 5 get the last three digits, we will have the answer 1 0 5
First you realize that this is murica, the land of the free and the home of the brave
Second, you realize 4-1 = 3 16-9 = 7 36-25 = 11
and so on..
Then using these murican powers, you realize using real eyes that:
This is just (1007) * (3+2012)
2014^2−2013^2 = (2014+2013)(2014-2013) = 2014+2013 2012^2−2011^2 = (2012+2011)(2012-2011) = 2012+2011 So, we have 2014 + 2013 + 2012 + 2011 + 2010 + 2009 + 2008 +...+ 2 + 1. 2014 + 1 = 2015; 2013 + 2 = 2015... and 2014/2 = 1007. So, 2014 + 2013 + 2012 + 2011 + 2010 + 2009 + 2008 +...+ 2 + 1 = 2015 x 1007 = 2.029.105. The result is 105
Each pair is a^2 - (a-1)^2 = a + a-1
Series = 2014 + 2013 + 2012 + 2011 + ... + 1 = 2014 * 2015 / 2
Sum of n = n/2(a=l) = 2014/2(2014+1) = 1007(2015) = 2029105 So the last three digits are 1,0,5 =105
(2014^2 - 2013^2)+(2012^2 - 2011^2) ...........+(2^2 -1^2)
=(2014+2013)(2014-2013)+(2012+2011)(2012-2011)..................+(2 +1)(2 -1)
=2014+2013+2012+2011+...........2 +1
=(2014*2015)/2
=2029105
So, the last 3 digits are 105
According to a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b )
( 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 ) ( 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 ) + ( 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 ) ( 2 0 1 2 − 2 0 1 1 ) + ⋯ + ( 2 + 1 ) ( 2 − 1 ) = 4 0 2 7 + 4 0 2 3 + ⋯ + 3
There are 1007 terms,
So, n = 1 0 0 7
a 1 = 4 0 2 7
a n = 3
Using S = 2 n ( a 1 + a n )
S = 2 1 0 0 7 ( 4 0 2 7 + 3 )
S = 2 0 2 9 1 0 5
2 0 2 9 1 0 5
So, the answer is 1 0 5
(2014+2013)(2014-2013)+(2012+2011)(2012+2011)+........................+(2+1)(2-1) =1+2+3+4+5..........................+2011+2012+2013+2014=1021105
Using the algebraic identity
a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b )
we can rewrite our expression as
( 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 ) ( 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 ) + ( 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 ) ( 2 0 1 2 − 2 0 1 1 ) + . . . . . . . . . . + ( 2 + 1 ) ( 2 − 1 )
which is just 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 + 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 + . . . . . . . . . . . . + 3 + 2 + 1 .The sum is just
2 2 0 1 4 ⋅ 2 0 1 5 = 1 0 0 7 ⋅ 2 0 1 5
Since we only want the last three digits,we look at the final expression mod 1 0 0 0 and that gives us 105.
Here we apply the formula a's power 2-b's power 2=(a-b)(a+b)
so 2014 power 2- 2013 power 2=(2014-2013)(2014+2013)
it will become 1*(2014+2013)=2014+2013
finally we found a series:
2014+2013+. . . +2+1 and solve this with the formula n(n+1)/2
so 2014(2014+1)/2=2029105 and last three digits are 105
it can be write like this
(2014 - 2013) (2014 + 2013) + (2012 - 2011)(2012+2011) + ... + (2-1)(2+1)
it form an aritmethic formula
Sn = 2 1 n (2a + (n - 1) b )
Sn = 2 1 2014 (2 . 1 + (2014-1) 1)
Sn = 1007 × 2015
Sn = 2029105
the last three digits of the alternating sum is 1 0 5
good job
The problem above can change into (2014+2013)(2014-2013) + (2012+2011)(2012-2011) + ... + (4+3)(4-3) + (2+1)(2-1) = (2014+2013).1 + (2012+2011).1 + ... + (2+1).1 = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 2014 = 2014.2014/2 = ......105. Answer : 105
*we can rewrite the expression in the following way: *
( 2 0 1 4 2 − 2 0 1 3 2 ) + ( 2 0 1 2 2 − 2 0 1 1 2 ) + . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . + ( 2 2 − 1 2 )
( 2 0 1 4 − 2 0 1 3 ) ∗ ( 2 0 1 4 + 2 0 1 3 ) + ( 2 0 1 2 − 2 0 1 1 ) ∗ ( 2 0 1 2 + 2 0 1 1 ) + . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . + ( 2 − 1 ) ∗ ( 2 + 1 )
4 0 2 7 + 4 0 2 3 + . . . . . . . . . + 3
this is nothing but an Arithmetic Progression of first term 4027 , n t h term 3 and common difference -4
3 = 4 0 2 7 − ( n − 1 ) ∗ 4
equating this we get n = 1 0 0 7
sum of 1007 terms S = 2 1 0 0 7 ∗ ( 4 0 2 7 + 3 ) = . . . . . . . . . . . 1 0 5
so the last three digits of the sum are 1 0 and 5
It can be written as 2014+2013+2012...............+1
