====== Question 7 and 8, Exercise 4.3 ====== Solutions of Question 7 and 8 of Exercise 4.3 of Unit 04: Sequence and Series. This is unit of Model Textbook of Mathematics for Class XI published by National Book Foundation (NBF) as Federal Textbook Board, Islamabad, Pakistan. =====Question 7===== Find the sum of series. $9+11+13+15+\cdots$ for $n=12$ ** Solution. ** Given series is arithmetic series with $a_1=9$, $d=11-9=2$, $n=12$.\\ Let $S_n$ represents sum of the arithmetic series. Then \begin{align} S_n&=\frac{n}{2}[2a_1+(n-1)d] \\ \implies S_{12}&=\frac{12}{2}[2(9)+(12-1)(2)]\\ &=6\times [18+22]\\ &=240. \end{align} Hence $S_{12}=240$. GOOD =====Question 8===== Find the sum of the even numbers from $2$ to $100$. ** Solution. ** Sum of the even numbers from $2$ to $100$ is $$2+4+6+...+100 (50 \text{ terms}).$$ This is arithmetic series with: $a_{1}=2$, $n=50$, $d=4-2=2$.\\ Let $S_n$ represents sum of the arithmetic series. Then \begin{align} S_n&=\frac{n}{2}[2a_1+(n-1)d] \\ \implies S_{50}&=\frac{50}{2}[2(2)+(50-1)(2)]\\ &=25\times [4+98]\\ &=2550. \end{align} Hence the sum of the even numbers from $2$ to $100$ is $2550$.
