How many terms are there in the series from n equals 21 to 60?

• 38

• 41

• 40

• 39

Why do we add one when calculating the number of terms in the series?

• To account for the last term

• To account for the middle term

• To account for the first term

What is the formula used to calculate the sum of an arithmetic series?

• S = n * (a1 + an)

• S = n/2 * (a1 + an)

• S = n * (a1 - an)

• S = n/2 * (a1 - an)
