Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image asks to calculate the sum:
This is a sum of an arithmetic sequence where the first term and the last term , with a common difference .
Step-by-step solution:
-
Determine the number of terms : The number of terms in an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula: Substituting the known values: So, there are 112 terms.
-
Use the sum formula for an arithmetic sequence: The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by: Substituting the values:
Final Answer:
Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are five related questions:
- How do you identify the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?
- What would the sum be if the sequence started from 100 instead of 111?
- Can you derive the formula for the number of terms in any arithmetic progression?
- What happens if the common difference changes to a value other than 1?
- How does the sum formula change if only the first half of the sequence is taken?
Tip: Always verify the number of terms in an arithmetic sequence before applying the sum formula to avoid miscalculations.
