LC Finds the sum of the terms of a given arithmetic sequence SSP_M10AL – Ib - 2

Name:___________________________________________Grade/Section:_____________Score:________
ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE
SUM OF ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE (ARITHMETIC SERIES)

n n
Sn=
2
[ 2 a1+ ( n−1 ) d ] or Sn=
2
(a1 + an)
 Examples:
1. Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the arithmetic sequence 5, 9, 13, 17, …

n
Sn=
2
[ 2 a1+ ( n−1 ) d ]
10
S10 = [ 2 ( 5 ) + ( 10−1 ) 4 ]
2
S10 =5 [ 2(5)+ ( 9 ) 4 ]
S10 =5 [ 10+36 ]
S10 =5 [ 46 ]
S10 =230
Therefore the sum of the first 10 terms of the arithmetic sequence 5, 9, 13, 17, … is 230.

2. Find the sum of the first 12 terms of a sequence whose first term is 3 and the last term is 43.

Let’s add!
Task A. Find the sum of each sequence.
1. 35 + 32+ 29+ 26 ____________
2. −34 + (−64) + (−94) + (−12) ____________
3. −30 + (−40) + (50) + (−60) ____________
4. 9 + 14 + 19 + 24 ____________
5. −7 + (−9) + (−11) + (−13) ____________

Let’s have some more exercises!


Task B. Give what is required.

a. What is the common difference? ________
b. What is the sum of the first 4 terms? ________
c. What is the 50th term of the given sequence? ________
d. How about the sum of the first 50 terms? ________

Let’s add the known to the unknown terms!


Task C. Find the sum of the terms in the arithmetic sequence for the
number of terms indicated.

1. 4 + 1 + -2 + -5 + … 30 terms __________
2. 6 +12 +18 +24 + … 25 terms __________
3. 10 + 7 + 4 + 1 + … 15 terms __________
4. 13 + 12 +11 + … 40 terms __________
5. 2 + 9 +16 + 23+ … 35 terms __________
