1. Problem Description

The general term of a sequence is given by Tn=n(n+1)2T_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}. We need to find the value of T6T2T_6 - T_2.

2. Solution Steps

First, we find the value of T6T_6 by substituting n=6n = 6 into the formula:
T6=6(6+1)2=6(7)2=422=21T_6 = \frac{6(6+1)}{2} = \frac{6(7)}{2} = \frac{42}{2} = 21
Next, we find the value of T2T_2 by substituting n=2n = 2 into the formula:
T2=2(2+1)2=2(3)2=62=3T_2 = \frac{2(2+1)}{2} = \frac{2(3)}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3
Finally, we find the difference between T6T_6 and T2T_2:
T6T2=213=18T_6 - T_2 = 21 - 3 = 18

3. Final Answer

The value of T6T2T_6 - T_2 is 18.
