What does 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9. + (2n-1) equal According to 1 + 3 = half (1 + 3) × 2, 1 + 3 + 5 = half (1 + 5) × 3

What does 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9. + (2n-1) equal According to 1 + 3 = half (1 + 3) × 2, 1 + 3 + 5 = half (1 + 5) × 3


1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9. + (2n-1) = the square of n



1+3+5+7+9+…… +What is (2n-1) + (2n + 1) + (2n + 3) equal to?


The last term can be reduced to 2 (n + 1) + 1. According to the formula of arithmetic summation: (n + 1) * 1 + (n + 1) * n * 2 / 2 = n * (n + 2)



Why is 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 +... + (2n-1) equal to n ^ 2


S=1+3+5+7+...+(2n-1)
S=(2n-1)+...+5+3+1
Add to get
2S=n[(2n-1)+1)]=2n^2
S=n^2
