Explain whether the approach in Gauss’s Problem of writing the sum backward and applying the strategy look for a pattern will or will not work in finding the sum:
To explain:
The sum of
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
Gauss’s approach does not work for the squares.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Approach:
Gauss’s approach is a method listed the sum from front and wrote the same sum from backward and the equal result.
Gauss’s approach for the sum of squares does not work because the sums change
