Sums of NumbersRecall that we were able to quickly find the sum of consecutive integers by using the Gauss method1+2+3+…+99+100 =
(100 ÷ 2)(101) =5050
Sums of NumbersWrite a formula for finding the sum of the first n counting numbers
1+2+3+…+(n-2)+(n-1)+n=(n ÷ 2)(n+1) =
Sums of NumbersHere is an interesting way to come up with this formula
Let S=1+ 2 + 3 +…+(n-1)+n
2S=(n+1)+(n+1)+(n+1)+…+(n+1)
+ S=n+(n-1)+(n-2)+…+ 2 +1
2S=n(n+1) n n+1S = 2
Sums of Odd Counting NumbersSee if you can find the sum of odd consecutive counting numbers.Find the sum of the first n odd counting numbers
S=1+3+5+7+…+(2n-1)Hint: Try taking a couple of sample sums

SummarySum of n
consecutive numbers
2S =n
Sum of n consecutive
odd numbers n n+1S = 2
Find the sum of the first n consecutive even numbers
S=2+4+6+8+…+2nS=1+2+3+…+(n-2)+
(n-1)+n2S=2(1+2+3+…+(n-2)+(n-1)+n)2S=2(1)+2(2)+2(3)+…+2(n)2S=2+4+6+8+…+2n
S=2S
S=2S S =n n+12
n n+12=S S = 2 ×2
S =n n+1
