You’ve got the right ingredients. (Pair up first term and last term and calculate number of terms.) However, with Gauss’s idea of pairing up the first and the last terms, you may consider condensing your work by one single formula.

J. M. Bergot asked this early April.
Is 61 the largest prime that is not the sum of prime and a triangular number? (The red box is complaining that this is too short. Has anyone ever looked into this question about 61?)
My answer:
No, the prime number also satisfies the property in the question.
I’ve used the Julia code while any(isprime, x) && p <= Tn[end] p = nextprime(p, 2); x = p .- Tn; x = x[x .> 0]; println("p = $p"); end
to search for primes until , where Tn = [Int64(k*(k+1)//2) for k in n];
You can set as large as you like.

Does composite zero transformation imply zero tranformation?
Show that if is a zero transformation then is a zero transformation as well where is a finite vector space and is a linear operator.

My answer
This is false. Consider matrices , representing linear transformations from to .
but
OP changed his question to clarify the meaning of and in response to a comment. This renders my answer meaningless, but its original version did answer the question.
This is false. Consider , . Then for all , but .

Hint: observe that $\cos\frac{2\pi}{7} = -\cos\frac{5\pi}{7}$
\begin{align}\cos\frac{\pi}{7}-\cos\frac{2\pi}{7}+\cos\frac{3\pi}{7} &= \cos\frac{\pi}{7}+\cos\frac{3\pi}{7}+\cos\frac{5\pi}{7} \ &= \frac{z+z^{-1}}{2} + \frac{z^3+z^{-3}}{2} + \frac{z^5+z^{-5}}{2} \ &= \frac{1}{2z^5} \frac{z^{12}-1}{z^2-1} \end{align} where $z^7 = -1$.

\begin{align}
& \oint_\Gamma \left[e^z (\sin z)^7 + \frac{e^{-z}}{(z+i)(z-2)}\right] dz \
&= \oint_\Gamma \frac{e^{-z}}{(z+i)(z-2)} dz \tag{$e^z \sin^7 z$ is analytic} \
&= 2 \pi i \left[ Res(f,-i) + Res(f,2) \right] \tag{$f(z) = \frac{e^{-z}}{(z+i)(z-2)}$} \
&= 2 \pi i \left[ \frac{e^{i}}{-i-2} + \frac{e^{-2}}{2+i} \right] \
&= 2 \pi i \; \frac{e^{-2}-e^i}{2+i}
\end{align}
