Mind Exercise:

What is the sum of counting


numbers
1. 1 to 10
2. 1 to 50
3. 1 to 1000
(derive the formula)
Illustrative Example:

Find the sum of the indicated number of


terms of the series:
1. First 15 terms of 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + …
2. First 20 terms of -4 – 1 + 2 + 5 + …
3. First 35 terms of 3 + 8 + 13 + 18 +
…
4. First 28 terms of -9 – 5 – 1 + 3 + …
Illustrative Example:

Find the sum of each AS:


1. 7, 14, 21, 28, …, 63
2. -4, -1, 2, 5, …, 173
3. 15, 5, -5, -15, …, -425
4. 1, -6, -13, -20, …, -202
5. -1/3, 0, 1/3, 2/3, …, 15 2/3
Illustrative Example:

1. Find the number of terms of an AS


whose first term is 5, last term is 212
and sum of the terms is 5,724.
2. Find the common difference of an AS
whose 1st term is -1, the number of
terms is 21, and the sym of the terms
is -441.
Challenge:
1. The sum of the first 50 terms of an arithmetic
series is 200 and the sum of the next 50 terms
is 2, 700. Find the first term.
2. If the sum of the first 10 terms of an AS is four
times the sum of the first five terms, find d in
terms of a1.
3. Show that the sum of the first n positive odd
integers is n^2.
4. Three numbers are in AS. If their sum is 18
and the sum of their squares is 126, find the
