ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION 1


The first term of an AP is 7 and the last term is 57.If the arithmetic progression consists of 20 terms, calculate the sum of all the terms. 


Solution


A1 = 7, n=20, An = 57

Sn = n(A1 + An)
       2

S20 = 20(7 + 57)
         2

S20 = 10 x 64


S20 = 640



Hence the sum of all 23 terms is 640.

TRY THIS.........................


The first term of an AP is 5 and the last term is 51.If the arithmetic progression consists of 30 terms, calculate the sum of all the terms.
