Questions and Answers

What is the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?

  • Tn = a × (n - 1) d
  • Tn = a / (n - 1) d
  • Tn = a - (n - 1) d
  • Tn = a + (n - 1) d (correct)

What is the general formula for a finite arithmetic series?

  • Sn = n / 2 × (a + l)
  • Sn = n × (a + l)
  • Sn = n / 2 × (2a + (n - 1) d) (correct)
  • Sn = n × (a - l)
