OpenStudy (welshfella):

this is an arithmetic sequence whose common difference is 7.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the general formula for each term of an AP = a1 + (n-1)d here d = 7 and a1 = 3 and n is the sequence number

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so if we plug in values of 7 and 3 what do we get for the nth term ?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

a1 = 3 , d = 7 so the nth term ( an ) = ?

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

sorry, i'm not sure

OpenStudy (welshfella):

replace a1 by 3 and d by 7 :- a1 + (n-1)d = 3 + 7(n-1)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right!

OpenStudy (setsuna-yuregeshi):

ok, now what?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so in sigma notation the sum of 18 terms is |dw:1462298580740:dw|
