Question

Find the sum given below:

34 + 32 + 30 + ... + 10

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

34 + 32 + 30 + ... + 10

For this A.P.,

a = 34

d = a2 − a1 

= 32 − 34

= −2

l = 10

Let 10 be the nth term of this A.P.

l = a + (n − 1) d

10 = 34 + (n − 1) (−2)

−24 = (n − 1) (−2)

12 = n − 1

n = 13

Sn = `n/2(a+1)`

= `13/2(34+10)`

= `(13xx44)/2`

= 13 × 22

= 286
