Find the sum of the following arithmetic series:
34 + 32 + 30 +...+10
Advertisements
Solution
The given arithmetic series is 34 + 32 + 30 +.....+10.
Here, a = 34,d = 32-34 = -2 and l = 10.
Let the given series contain n terms. Then,
an = 10
⇒ 34 + (n-1) × (-2) = 10 [an = a+ (n-1) d]
⇒ - 2n + 36 = 10
⇒ -2n = 10-36=-26
⇒ n= 13
∴ Required sum` 13/2 xx (34+10) [ s_n = n/2 ( a+l)]`
= `13/2 xx 44 `
= 286

Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, .....
Activity :- Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 5, d = `square`
Let nth term of this A.P. be 301
tn = a + (n – 1) `square`
301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`
301 = 6n – 1
n = `302/6` = `square`
But n is not positive integer.
Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, ......
