How we worked it out
Updated as you change the numbers.
- aₙ = a₁ + (n − 1)d; Sₙ = n ÷ 2 × (2a₁ + (n − 1)d).
Method and assumptions
Arithmetic sequences add a constant difference; geometric sequences multiply by a constant ratio. The sum formulas avoid adding terms one by one. Fibonacci numbers here start 1, 1, 2, 3.
Questions
What is the 10th term of 3, 7, 11, …?
39, and the first 10 terms add up to 210.
