If (S_n=n(5n-2)), find the sum from the (16)th term to the (25)th term.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (1980)

The notation gives the sum of the first n terms as \\(S_n=n(5n-2)\\). To add the terms from the 16th through the 25th, subtract the sum through the 15th term from the sum through the 25th term. First, \\(S_{25}=25(5\times25-2)=25(123)=3075\\). Next, \\(S_{15}=15(5\times15-2)=15(73)=1095\\). Thus the required sum is \\(S_{25}-S_{15}=3075-1095=1980\\).

Hence option D is correct. Subtracting \\(S_{15}\\), rather than \\(S_{16}\\), is necessary because the 16th term is the first term wanted. The difference removes terms 1 through 15 and leaves exactly terms 16 through 25. The calculated value agrees with the supplied answer, so no correction is needed.
