is this an arithmetic sequence by chance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Arithmetic series

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if so, there is a formula that can be developed that looks like:\[\frac{1}{2}n(first+last)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So,\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }n(125)\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
