Find the sum of series: $4+7+10+13+16+19+22+25$

Solution. Given: $4+7+10+13+16+19+22+25$.

As the given series is arithmetic series with $a_1=4$, $d=7-4=3$, $n=8$, so \begin{align} S_n&=\frac{n}{2}[2a_1+(n-1)d]\\ \implies S_8&=\frac{8}{2}[2(4)+(8-1)(3)]\\ &=4[8+7\times 3] = 116 \end{align} Hence sum of given series is 116. GOOD

Find the sum of series. $a_{1}=2$, $a_{n}=200$, $n=100$

FIXME Statement is logically incorrenct.

Find the sum of arithematic series with: $a_{1}=2$, $a_{n}=200$, $n=100$

Solution.

Given $a_{1}=2$, $a_{n}=200$, $n=100$.
Let $S_n$ represents sum of arithematic series. Then \begin{align} S_n&=\frac{n}{2}[a_1+a_n] \\ \implies S_{100}&=\frac{100}{2}[2+200]\\ &=10100. \end{align} Hence $S_{100}=10100$.
