Can the below be solved by taking the sum of the first (m1) and last (m10) number divided by the total numbers (10)?
For every integer m from 1 to 10 inclusive, the mthmth term of a certain sequence is given by (−1)(m+1)∗(12)m(−1)(m+1)∗(12)m. If T is the sum of the first 10 terms in the sequence, then T is:
(A) greater than 2
(B) between 1 and 2
(C) between 0.5 and 1
(D) between 0.25 and 0.5
(E) less than 0.25
There is an article from GMAT Economist that explains (but I can't post the article), can this be applied?
Example:
Applying the rules to find the sum of the sequence
How do we apply these useful rules to this question?
First, calculate the average of the first and last terms.
The first term is the sum of 1, 2 and 3 = 6
The last term is the sum of 99, 100 and 101 = 300
The average of the first and last terms = (6 + 300) / 2 = 306 / 2 = 153
Second, multiply the average by the number of terms.
There are 99 terms
Therefore, the answer to our question is 153 x 99
