If the sum of 4040 consecutive integer numbers is 2020, find out the absolute difference between the first number and the last number.

Let be the smallest of the consecutive integers summing to 2020. Then the largest integer in the sum is so our answer is

For completeness, though, let's solve for the value of that satisfies the conditions of the problem. Recall that the sum of an arithmetic series with first term last term and terms, is Plugging in our known values gives us the equation which simplifies to Thus, so the 4040 consecutive integers are Notice how everything except the cancels out!

number one is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation: dogs and cats are mentioned, no other animals

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
