Well, since the nth term is 2n+6, therefore First term = 2(1)+6 =8

Second term is 2(2) +6 = 10

Third term is 2(3) +6 = 12

Hence, their some = S3=3(2(a)+(3-1)d)/2

====>3(2(8)+2(2))/2

====>3(20)/2=30

Which means that this is an arithmetic sequence where a=8 and d=2

What you need to do is replace (n) with the number of the term you want to find, and there is your answer.

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.

Give the simple formula for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence What if your answer will be of the form an plus b?

If the formula for additional terms was the summation of the term before it, the nth term of the series would be the sum of all terms prior. In other words it would be the summation of a through n minus 1.
