Nnesha (nnesha):

tell me what you know about arithmetic so far ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

definition ?

numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

difference between consecutive terms are the same to find the sum of ARITHMETIC sequence formula is \[\huge\rm s_n = \frac{ n }{2} (a_1 + a_n)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35 ?

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

show your work plz :-) how did you get 35 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

isn't there plus sign between terms ?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

@chappy0729 what's the common difference in sequence again?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

"numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant." ^ notice your definition of a common difference so well put ( or pasted ) so.....using that definition, what common difference could we find in that sequence you think?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

if you dunno... then you may want to brush up your section on arithmethic sequences then try the exercise, once that has been covered though
