Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the sum of the first n terms of the arithmetic series 2, 5, 8, ...?
  • Step 1: Identify the first term of the series. The first term (a) is 2.
  • Step 2: Identify the common difference of the series. The common difference (d) is 5 - 2 = 3.
  • Step 3: Write the formula for the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series: S_n = n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values of a and d into the formula: S_n = n/2 * (2*2 + (n-1)*3).
  • Step 5: Simplify the expression: S_n = n/2 * (4 + (n-1)*3).
  • Step 6: Further simplify: S_n = n/2 * (4 + 3n - 3) = n/2 * (3n + 1).
