  • what if it was i^2? will it be n(n+1) divided by 2 and then you square the result?

  • @deadXbun That was meant to be the subject of my next video. However, I used a different background for that and later decided I didn't like it, so I'll have to re-make all the slides :( ..

  • @KingsIndianCR awwww. i did realise that it was 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 +... so on. what if it was like 1 to 100 it'd be omg to put all those into a simple calculator. Wonder if there was another (shortcut) formula to that? looking forward to your next video. shall subscribe xD

  • @deadXbun Thanks :) !

    I can tell you now that there is a formula for 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + ... + n^2 - it's n(n+1)(2n+1)/6, and I'll prove that in two different ways in my video. Just to show that there's often no one 'correct' way to prove things :P .

  • You explain it well!

    Thanks for the video!

  • @MrOrozco27 No problem. Glad I could help :) .
