The kth term, t(k) is given by t(k) = 2k2 + 2k

So the sum of the first n terms is 2*(12+22+32+...+n2) + 2*(1+2+3+...+n)

= 2*n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 + 2*n(n+1)/2

= n(n+1)*(2n+1)/3 + n(n+1)

= n(n+1)*(2n+1+3)/3

= 2*n(n+1)(n+2)/3

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 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.


How many terms of the ap 43 39 35 ... be taken so that their sum is 252?

12 terms. Sum_of_ap = n(2a + (n-1)d) ÷ 2 For 43, 39, 35, ... a = 43, d = -4 ⇒ 252 = n(2 x 43 + (n - 1) x -4) ÷ 2 ⇒ 252 = 45n -2n2 ⇒ 2n2 - 45n + 252 = 0 ⇒ (2n - 21)(n - 12) = 0 ⇒ n = 101/2 or 12 101/2th terms do not make sense, so cannot be an answer. Thus 12 terms are needed. What happens is that the sum increases whilst the terms are positive. After 10 terms, the sum is still less than 252. The 11th term is the last positive term and takes the sum over 252; the 12th term is the first negative term and takes the sum back down to 252.

What is average of 10 6 12?

Calculating an average is done in two steps: - First: you calculate the sum of the terms whose average you would like to calculate. - Second: you divide the sum of the terms by their number. In your case: - First: 10 + 6 + 12 = 28 - Second: 28 / 3 = 9.33333.... 3 is the number of terms added together which are: 10, 6 and 12 (3 numbers). Answer: Therefore your average is: 9.33333....
