winnie adds the smallest 30 positive even numbers. grogg adds the largest 30 odd negative numbers. how much greater is winnie's sum than grogg's sum?

1830

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of smallest 30 positive even numbers is given by

2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + ......... up to 30 terms

= 2 ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ....... + 30)

=

Again the sum of largest 30 odd negative numbers is given by

- 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 - ...... up to 30 terms.

= - (1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + ...... up to 30 terms)

{This is an A.P. series having first term 1, common difference 2 and the number of terms 30}

=

= - 900

Now, Winnie has the sum 930 and Grogg has the sum - 900.

So, Winnie's sum is (930 + 900) = 1830 more than Grogg's sum. (Answer)
