Finite arithmetic series Sequences and series
arithmetic sequence If you're given the first few terms of an arithmetic sequence, you just need to identify the first term and the common difference (the number being added each If you're given the first few terms of an arithmetic sequence, you just need to identify the first term and the common difference (the number being added each
Arithmetic Progression · The formula for finding the n-th term of an AP is: · Where · a = First term · d = Common difference · n = number of terms · = nth term Given an arithmetic sequence with the first term a1 and the common difference d, the nth term is given by
For example, in the arithmetic sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, … the first term is 2 and the common difference is 3 Therefore, the general formula for this Understand what an arithmetic sequence is and discover how to solve arithmetic sequence
