Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded contains a sum of squares from 1 to 100, written as:
This is a well-known series, and the formula to find the sum of squares of the first integers is:
For , the sum is:
Let me compute that for you. Calculating the sum of squares of the first 100 integers n = 100 sum_of_squares = (n * (n + 1) * (2 * n + 1)) / 6 sum_of_squaresThe sum of squares from 1 to 100 is:
