Answer:
The sum is 2275
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]75,76,77....99,100[/tex]
Required
The sum
Using arithmetic progression, we have:
[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}(T_1 + T_n)[/tex]
Where:
[tex]T_1 = 75[/tex] --- first term
[tex]T_n = 100[/tex] --- last term
[tex]n = T_n - T_1 + 1[/tex]
[tex]n = 100 - 75 + 1 = 26[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}(T_1 + T_n)[/tex]
[tex]S_n = \frac{26}{2}*(75 + 100)[/tex]
[tex]S_n = 13*175[/tex]
[tex]S_n = 2275[/tex]
