Question

Provide an example of an arithmetic series that totals zero. Using complete sentences, explain how you created the example

Answer 1

what does totals zero mean??

Answer 2

it has to equal zero

Answer 3

This is what I make of the question. I might be wrong. A sequence with 8 as the first term is created. The difference is -2. Therefore, this is what the sequence looks like. 8, 6, 4, 2, 0. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

i don't think that you can find an arithmetic series that equals zero.

Answer 5

-2,0,+2

Answer 9

Answer 10

i kinda thought of infinite series.

Answer 11

yeah its a confusing question

Answer 12

Just to clear any confusion that you may have, an arithmetic series is the one in which there exists a common difference between the terms. It is -2 in our example.

Answer 13

Answer 16

@cheeto365 question is right, series is sum, sequence is just the progression.

Answer 17

Answer 19

2,4,6,8,.. (sequence) and 2+4+6+8 ..(series)
