2 ) 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + ... + x.( x + 1 ) = 5850
Đặt A = 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + ... + x.( x + 1 )
=> 3A = 1.2.3 + 2.3.( 4 - 1 ) + 3.4.(5 - 2 ) + ... + x.( x + 1 ). [ ( x + 2 ) - ( x - 1 ) ]
= 1.2.3 + 2.3.4 - 1.2.3 + 3.4.5 - 2.3.4 + ... + x . ( x + 1 ) . ( x + 2 ) - ( x - 1 ). x . ( x + 1 )
= x . ( x + 1 ) . ( x + 2 )
=> A = [ x . ( x + 1 ) . ( x + 2 ) ] : 3
Mà tổng A = 5850
=> [ x . ( x + 1 ) . ( x + 2 ) ] : 3 = 5850
=> x . ( x + 1 ) . ( x + 2 ) = 17550
x . ( x + 1 ) . ( x + 2 ) = 25 . 26 . 27
=> x = 25
Vậy x = 25
