Arithmetic series is the sum of the terms of an
arithmetic sequence. The sum of the first n terms of a
sequence is called partial sum, denoted by Sn.

Find the sum of the given arithmetic sequence;
6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38

Given: 𝑺𝒏 = (𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏 )
𝟐
𝒂𝟏 = 𝟔 𝟗
𝑺𝟗 = (𝟔 + 𝟑𝟖)
𝟐
𝒂𝒏 = 𝟑𝟖 𝟗
𝑺𝟗 = (𝟒𝟒)
𝒏=𝟗 𝟐
𝑺𝟗 = 𝟏𝟗𝟖
Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence
3, 8, 13, 18, …
Given: 𝑺𝒏 =
𝒏
𝟐𝒂𝟏 + 𝒏 − 𝟏 𝒅
𝟐
𝒂𝟏 = 𝟑 𝟏𝟎
𝑺𝟏𝟎 = 𝟐(𝟑) + 𝟏𝟎 − 𝟏 (𝟓)
𝒅 = 𝒂𝟏 − 𝒂𝟐 𝟐
𝑺𝟏𝟎 = 𝟓 𝟔 + 𝟗 (𝟓)
=𝟖−𝟑
𝑺𝟏𝟎 = 𝟓(𝟔 + 𝟒𝟓)
=𝟓 𝑺𝟏𝟎 = 𝟓 𝟓𝟏
𝒏 = 𝟏𝟎 𝑺𝟏𝟎 = 𝟐𝟓𝟓
 Find the sum of the integers from 20 to 130
and are divisible by 5.
Given: Find n. Find S23.
𝒂𝟏 = 𝟐𝟎 𝒂𝒏 = 𝒂𝟏 + 𝒅(𝒏 − 𝟏) 𝒏
𝟏𝟑𝟎 = 𝟐𝟎 + (𝟓)(𝒏 − 𝟏) 𝑺𝒏 = 𝟐 (𝒂𝟏 + 𝒂𝒏 )
𝒂𝒏 = 𝟏𝟑𝟎
𝟏𝟑𝟎 = 𝟐𝟎 + 𝟓𝒏 − 𝟓 𝑺𝟐𝟑 =
𝟐𝟑
(𝟐𝟎 + 𝟏𝟑𝟎)
𝒅=𝟓 𝟐
𝟏𝟑𝟎 − 𝟐𝟎 + 𝟓 = 𝟓𝒏 𝟐𝟑
𝟏𝟏𝟓 = 𝟓𝒏 𝑺𝟐𝟑 = (𝟏𝟓𝟎)
