5016. Here's how:

Each term is 1 less than the terms in 9, 18, 27 ..., which is the sequence 9*N, with N = 1..33.

So the actual formula for the sequence is {9*N - 1}

The sequence 1,2,3...N can be summed by (N+1)*N/2 --> N=33: (33+1)*33/2 = 561, so the sum of the first 33 terms of 9+18+27+297 = 9*(1+2+3+..+33) = 9*561 = 5049. But our sequence terms are each one less than the terms in 9,18,27, so subtract 33 from 5049 = 5016.

Find the sum of the first 48 terms of an aritmetic sequance 2 4 6 8?

Sum of 1st 2 terms, A2 = 2 + 4 = 6 Sum of 1st 3 terms, A3 = 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 Sum of 1st 4 terms A4 = 2 + 4 + 6 + 12 = 20 you can create a formula for the sum of the 1st n terms of this sequence Sum of 1st n terms of this sequence = n2 + n so the sum of the first 48 terms of the sequence is 482 + 48 = 2352

What is the sum of the first 64 terms of the binary sequence?

A binary sequence is a sequence of [pseudo-]randomly generated binary digits. There is no definitive sum because the numbers are random. The sum could range from 0 to 64 with a mean sum of 32.

What is the sum of the first 12 terms of the arithmetic sequence?

The sum of the first 12 terms of an arithmetic sequence is: sum = (n/2)(2a + (n - 1)d) = (12/2)(2a + (12 - 1)d) = 6(2a + 11d) = 12a + 66d where a is the first term and d is the common difference.


What is the sum of first six terms of a sequence whose nth term is 8 - n?

nth term is 8 - n. an = 8 - n, so the sequence is {7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,...} (this is a decreasing sequence since the successor term is smaller than the nth term). So, the sum of first six terms of the sequence is 27.
