Math Problem Statement

Find the sum of all even integers from 10 to 70 with solution

Solution

To find the sum of all even integers from 10 to 70, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:

Sn=n2×(a1+an)S_n = \frac{n}{2} \times (a_1 + a_n)

where:

  • nn is the number of terms,
  • a1a_1 is the first term,
  • ana_n is the last term.

Step 1: Identify the first term, last term, and number of terms

  • The first even integer in the range is a1=10a_1 = 10.
  • The last even integer in the range is an=70a_n = 70.
  • The difference between consecutive terms (common difference) is d=2d = 2.

Step 2: Find the number of terms nn

To find nn, use the formula for the nn-th term of an arithmetic sequence:

an=a1+(n1)×da_n = a_1 + (n-1) \times d

Substitute the values:

70=10+(n1)×270 = 10 + (n-1) \times 2

Solving for nn:

70=10+2n270 = 10 + 2n - 2 70=8+2n70 = 8 + 2n 62=2n62 = 2n n=622=31n = \frac{62}{2} = 31
