For which (n) will (S_n-S_{n-1}=62)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 62

For the sum of the first n natural numbers, \(S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\). Therefore, \(S_n-S_{n-1}=n\), since the difference leaves only the newly added term n. Given \(S_n-S_{n-1}=62\), we get \(n=62\). If n were 61, the difference would be 61, not 62. Exam tip: The difference between two consecutive partial sums is always the newly added term of the sequence.
