Capitolo 9, Problema 22
Find the sum of the first 22 terms of the arithmetic sequence: 5, 12, 19, 26, ...
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the first term \( a_1 \) of the arithmetic sequence. Here, \( a_1 = 5 \).
Determine the common difference \( d \) by subtracting the first term from the second term: \( d = 12 - 5 = 7 \).
Use the formula for the \( n \)-th term of an arithmetic sequence: \( a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d \). Substitute \( n = 22 \) to find the 22nd term \( a_{22} \).
Apply the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms of an arithmetic sequence: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} (a_1 + a_n) \]. Substitute \( n = 22 \), \( a_1 = 5 \), and the value of \( a_{22} \) found in the previous step.
Simplify the expression to find the sum of the first 22 terms.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Arithmetic Sequence
An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers where each term after the first is found by adding a constant difference to the previous term. In this sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant, which helps identify the pattern and find any term.

Common Difference
The common difference is the fixed amount added to each term to get the next term in an arithmetic sequence. It is found by subtracting any term from the following term, and it is essential for determining the nth term and the sum of terms.

Sum of an Arithmetic Sequence
The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the formula S_n = n/2 * (first term + last term). This formula simplifies adding many terms by using the number of terms and the first and last terms of the sequence.
