In summary, the formula A=1×3×5×7+3×5×7×9+5×7×9×11+−−−+(2n−3)×(2n−1)×(2n+1)×(2n+3) is a summation of four consecutive odd numbers, starting with 1 and ending with (2n+3), where n is any positive integer. It can be simplified by factoring out the common term and using the formula for the sum of consecutive odd numbers. This formula is specifically for finding the sum of consecutive odd numbers and cannot be used for even numbers. It can be applied in real world situations, such as calculating the total number

$A=1\times 3\times 5\times 7+3\times 5\times 7\times 9+5\times 7\times 9\times 11
+---+(2n-3)\times (2n-1)\times (2n+1)\times (2n+3)$
here $n\geq 2, and \,\, n\in N$

My solution:

We may express $A$ recursively as follows:

\(\displaystyle A_{n}-A_{n-1}=(2n-3)(2n-1)(2n+1)(2n+3)=16n^4-40n^2+9\) where $2\le n$

Our homogeneous solution is:

\(\displaystyle h_n=k_1\)

And our particular solution will take the form:

\(\displaystyle p_n=An^5+Bn^4+Cn^3+Dn^2+En\)

Substituting into our recursion, there results:

\(\displaystyle 5An^4-(10A-4B)n^3+(10A-6B+3C)n^2-(5A-4B+3C-2D)n+(A-B+C-D+E)=16n^4+0n^3-40n^2+0n+9\)

Equating corresponding coefficients, and solving the resulting system, we obtain:

\(\displaystyle (A,B,C,D,E)=\left(\frac{16}{5},8,-8,-20,\frac{9}{5}\right)\)

And so our particular solution is:

\(\displaystyle p_n=\frac{16}{5}n^5+8n^4-8n^3-20n^2+\frac{9}{5}n\)

Now, we know fromn the principle of superposition and the initial condition:

\(\displaystyle A_2=90+k=105\implies k=15\)

And so our solution (closed-form for $A_n$) is:

\(\displaystyle A_n=\frac{16}{5}n^5+8n^4-8n^3-20n^2+\frac{9}{5}n+15\)

1. What is the formula for "A=1×3×5×7+3×5×7×9+5×7×9×11+−−−+(2n−3)×(2n−1)×(2n+1)×(2n+3)"?

The formula is a summation of four consecutive odd numbers, starting with 1 and ending with (2n+3). Each consecutive odd number is multiplied by the next three consecutive odd numbers.

2. How do you simplify the formula "A=1×3×5×7+3×5×7×9+5×7×9×11+−−−+(2n−3)×(2n−1)×(2n+1)×(2n+3)"?

The formula can be simplified by factoring out the common term 1×3×5×7 and using the formula for the sum of consecutive odd numbers, which is n². This results in A=(2n+3)(n²).

3. What is the purpose of the formula "A=1×3×5×7+3×5×7×9+5×7×9×11+−−−+(2n−3)×(2n−1)×(2n+1)×(2n+3)"?

The formula can be used to find the sum of a series of consecutive odd numbers, starting with 1 and ending with (2n+3), where n is any positive integer.

4. Can the formula "A=1×3×5×7+3×5×7×9+5×7×9×11+−−−+(2n−3)×(2n−1)×(2n+1)×(2n+3)" be used to find the sum of consecutive even numbers?

No, the formula is specifically for finding the sum of consecutive odd numbers. To find the sum of consecutive even numbers, a different formula must be used.

5. How can the formula "A=1×3×5×7+3×5×7×9+5×7×9×11+−−−+(2n−3)×(2n−1)×(2n+1)×(2n+3)" be applied in real world situations?

The formula can be applied in various situations, such as calculating the total number of objects in a specific pattern or finding the total cost of consecutive odd numbered items. It can also be used in mathematical proofs and equations.
