first one

1²-2²+3²-4²......

1²+(3²-2²)+(5²-4²)+(7²-6²)+.......+(2009²-2008²)

1+[1.5+1.9+1.13....(1004) terms]

1+5+9+13.............(1005) terms

sum=(n/2)(2a+(n-1)d)
[(1005)/2][2*1+1004*4]=2019045

Q 2.
T_n= (n th term)=(1+2+3+...n)/n

T_n=(n(n+1))/n

T_n=(n+1)/2

therefore, S_n=0.5[n(n+1)/2 + n]

solving, we get S_n=(n² +3n)/4

put n=20, we get

sum=115
