SEQUENCES AND SERIES

Objective:

Find the sum of arithmetic

series
Arithmetic series is the sum of the terms of
an arithmetic sequence.
The nth partial Sum of an Arithmetic Sequence
The sum 𝑺𝒏 of the first n terms of an arithmetic
sequence is given by

𝒏
𝑺𝒏 = (𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏 )
𝟐

Where 𝒂𝟏 is the first term and 𝒂𝒏 is the nth term.
