The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the first 50 terms of the series \( (1 \times 3) + (3 \times 5) + (5 \times 7) + \ldots \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the nth term of the series The series can be expressed in terms of \( n \): - The first term is \( 1 \times 3 \) - The second term is \( 3 \times 5 \) - The third term is \( 5 \times 7 \) The pattern shows that the nth term can be represented as: \[ T_n = (2n - 1)(2n + 1) \] This is because: - The first factor \( 2n - 1 \) gives the odd numbers starting from 1 (1, 3, 5, ...). - The second factor \( 2n + 1 \) gives the next odd number after \( 2n - 1 \). ### Step 2: Simplify the nth term Now, let's simplify \( T_n \): \[ T_n = (2n - 1)(2n + 1) = 4n^2 - 1 \] ### Step 3: Find the sum of the first 50 terms We need to find the sum \( S_n \) of the first \( n \) terms: \[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} T_k = \sum_{k=1}^{n} (4k^2 - 1) \] This can be separated into two sums: \[ S_n = 4\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 - \sum_{k=1}^{n} 1 \] The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers squared is given by: \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^2 = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} \] And the sum of 1 for \( n \) terms is simply \( n \). ### Step 4: Substitute and calculate \( S_{50} \) Substituting \( n = 50 \): \[ S_{50} = 4 \left(\frac{50(50 + 1)(2 \cdot 50 + 1)}{6}\right) - 50 \] Calculating \( \sum_{k=1}^{50} k^2 \): \[ \sum_{k=1}^{50} k^2 = \frac{50 \cdot 51 \cdot 101}{6} = \frac{257550}{6} = 42925 \] Now substituting back into \( S_{50} \): \[ S_{50} = 4 \cdot 42925 - 50 = 171700 - 50 = 171650 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the sum of the first 50 terms of the series is: \[ \boxed{171650} \]
