The positive difference between the square of the sum of the first five positive integers and the sum of the first five positive perfect squares is 170. This is obtained by taking the sum of first five numbers, squaring the sum and subtracting the sum of first five perfect squares.
Calculate the positive difference:
The sum of first five positive integers = 1+2+3+4+5 = 15
Square of the sum of the first five positive integers = 15² = 225
The sum of the first five positive perfect squares =1²+2²+3²+4²+5²
=1+4+9+16+25
=55
The positive differenece = 225-55=170
Hence the positive difference between the square of the sum of the first five positive integers and the sum of the first five positive perfect squares is 170.
