Find the sum of the arithmetic sequence. (1 point)-4, -1, 2, 5, 8, 11,
tell me what you know about arithmetic so far ?
definition ?
numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.
@Nnesha
difference between consecutive terms are the same to find the sum of ARITHMETIC sequence formula is \[\huge\rm s_n = \frac{ n }{2} (a_1 + a_n)\]
35 ?
@Nnesha
show your work plz :-) how did you get 35 ?
isn't there plus sign between terms ?
@chappy0729 what's the common difference in sequence again?
"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?
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
