good proof you saves my typing time.
1^2 =1, 2^2 =4, 3^2 = 9, 4^2 =16 5^2 = 25 then n^2 must be the answer. :P
good
impressive
Great!
by using A.P. (n/2)(1+n) + (n-1)(n)/2 =(n/2)(2n) = n^2
i liked it
Well done!
Nice solution, thanks!
thank u for your solution?

Are you saying or asking ??
n^2
i dont get it.. can anyone teach me how to use this formula?

How much more elaborately can I explain ?? Which part of the solution is troubling you ?
Log in to reply
want to know how you got that formula??n(n+1)/2

@Akom Ternuk – That is a pretty basic formula and can be proved using induction or by the use of arithmetic progression formulas.
Good. Congrats.
(Y) good work
1+2+3+4+..........+(n-1)+n+(n-1)+................+4+3+2+1
=[1+2+3+............+n]+[(n-1)+...........+4+3+2+1]
=[n(n+1)/2]+[(n-1)(n-1+1)/2]
= [n(n+1)/2]+[n(n-1)/2]
= (n/2)(n+1+n-1)=(n/2)(2n) = n^2
Its simplyer i think
The solution was available in a previous problem. I just remembered. Thank to whoever posted it.
A simpler way to explain is to write the series as follows:: Consider n=9., then you can rearrange the series as : 1+8+ 2+7+ 3+6+ 4+5+ 5+4+ 6+3+ 7+2+ 8+1+ 9 =9*9=9^2=n^. Here Answer is 81
just we take square the numbers in squenvize and get ans in this way
1+2+3+......+(n-1)+n+(n-1)+......+3+2+1 =2(1)+2(2)+2(3)+.......+2(n-1)+n=n^2
Expression is from 1 to n and then back to 1 ,so sum will be nXn = n square

n^2=sum of all total sphere

We use here the formula 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . . + n = n + ( n − 1 ) + . . . . . . + 3 + 2 + 1 = 2 n ( n + 1 ) .
The given expression is ---->
1 + 2 + 3 + . . . . . . . . + ( n − 1 ) + n + ( n − 1 ) + . . . . . . + 3 + 2 + 1
= ( 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . . + ( n − 1 ) ) + n + ( ( n − 1 ) + . . . . + 3 + 2 + 1 )
= ( 2 ( n − 1 ) ( n − 1 + 1 ) ) + n + ( 2 ( n − 1 ) ( n − 1 + 1 ) )
= 2 ( n − 1 ) n + 2 ( n − 1 ) n + n
= 2 ( n − 1 ) n + ( n − 1 ) n + n
= 2 2 ( n − 1 ) n + n
= ( n − 1 ) n + n = n ( ( n − 1 ) + 1 ) = n ( n − 1 + 1 ) = n × n = n 2
