Best Answer

the formula is:

Sn= n [2(A1)+(n - 1)d]

2

for example the given sequence is when A1 = 4 and n = 10 when d = 2 here is the solution:

Sn = 4 [2(4)+(10 - 1)2]

2

Sn= 2 [6+(9)(2)

Sn = 2 [6+18]

Sn = 2 (24)

Sn = 48

Can a recursive formula produce an arithmetic or geometric sequence?

arithmetic sequence * * * * * A recursive formula can produce arithmetic, geometric or other sequences. For example, for n = 1, 2, 3, ...: u0 = 2, un = un-1 + 5 is an arithmetic sequence. u0 = 2, un = un-1 * 5 is a geometric sequence. u0 = 0, un = un-1 + n is the sequence of triangular numbers. u0 = 0, un = un-1 + n(n+1)/2 is the sequence of perfect squares. u0 = 1, u1 = 1, un+1 = un-1 + un is the Fibonacci sequence.

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.
