To find the sum of 25 terms of these arithmetic sequence you can use the formula:

Sn = (n/2)(a1 + an), where n is the number of terms in the sequence, a1 is the first term, and an is the last term of the sequence. In our case n = 25, so we need to compute a1 and a25.

Since an = 5t - 3, then

a1 = 5(1) - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2

a25 = 5(25) - 3 = 125 - 3 = 122

By substituting the values we know into the formula we have:

S25 = (25/2)(2 + 122) = (25/2)(124) = 25 x 62 = 1,550

Or you can use the formula:

Sn = (n/2)[2a1 + (n - 1)d] where d is the common difference.

In order to find d, we need to find at least the value of 2 terms and subtract them.

a1 = 2

a2 = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

So d = 7 - 2 = 5

By substituting the values we know into the formula we have:

S25 = (25/2)[2(2) + (25 - 1)5]

S25 = (25/2)(4+ 120) = (25/2)(124 = 25 x 62 = 1,550

Thus, the sum of 25 terms of the given arithmetic sequence is 1,550.

What is the formula of finding the sum of a series of even numbers?

You didn't say the series (I prefer to use the word sequence) of even numbers are consecutive even numbers, or even more generally an arithmetic sequence. If we are not given any information about the sequence other than that each member happens to be even, there is no formula for that other than the fact that you can factor out the 2 from each member and add up the halves, then multiply by 2: 2a + 2b + 2c = 2(a + b + c). If the even numbers are an arithmetic sequence, you can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence. Similarly if they are a geometric sequence.


Find the 30th term of the following sequence 1 7 13 19?

This is an arithmetic sequence with the first term t1 = 1, and the common difference d = 6. So we can use the formula of finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, tn = t1 + (n - 1)d, to find the required 30th term. tn = t1 + (n - 1)d t30 = 1 + (30 - 1)6 = 175

Number of terms in the following arithmetic sequence 1 5 9 13 49?

Assuming the sequence does not merely skip from 13 to 49, and instead carries on in the same pattern, the sequence proceeds thus:1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49.This is thirteen terms. The formula for finding these terms is 4x-3.

What is the formula for the nth term of this sequence 14 22 30 38 46?

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the math questions, huh? So, the formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference. In this sequence, the common difference is 8 (because each term increases by 8), and the first term is 14. So, the formula for the nth term would be 14 + 8(n-1). You're welcome.
