Find The Sum Of The First 18 Terms Of An Arithmetic Whose General Term Is An= 3n-5
Find the sum of the first 18 terms of an Arithmetic whose general term is an= 3n-5
ANSWER :
The sum of 18th terms of the aritimetic sequence is 423.
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION :
- Find the first term.
An = 3n - 5
A1 = 3(1) - 5
A1 = 3 - 5
A1 = -2
- Find the 18th term.
An = 3n - 5
A18 = 3(18) - 5
A18 = 54 - 5
A18 = 49
- Only , calculating the sum of 18th terms of the sequence.
Sn = (A1 + An) × n/2
S18 = (-2 + 49) × 18/2
S18 = 47 × 18/2
S18 = 846/2
S18 = 423
Therefore , the sum of 18th terms of the aritimetic sequence is 423.
