1999^2-1998^2+1997^2-...-2^2+1^2​

675 (6913)

1999000

Step-by-step explanation:

1²-2²=(1-2)(1+2)=-1*3=-3

3²-4²=(3-4)(3+4)=-7

5²-6²=(5-6)(5+6)=-11

7²-8²=(7-8)(7+8)=-15

...

1997²-1998²=(1997-1998)(1997+1998)=-3995

1²-2²+3²-4²+....+1997²-1998²+1999²=1999²-(3+7+11+15+...+3995)

Number of terms in the parenthesis: =(3995-3)/(7-3)+1=998+1=999

Parenthesis=

1²-2²+3²-4²+....+1997²-1998²+1999²==1999²-1997001=1999000

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
