What is the formula to find the sum of an arithmetic sequence

The video tutorial explains how to find the sum of a finite series by determining the number of terms, the first term, and the last term. It emphasizes the importance of knowing these values to calculate the sum, especially in arithmetic sequences. The tutorial also includes a brief example to illustrate the process.

What is the first step in finding the sum of a finite series?

• Identify the midpoint

• Determine the NTH term

• Find the common difference

• Calculate the average

Why is it important to know the number of terms in a series?

• To find the median

• To calculate the sum accurately

• To determine the common ratio

• To identify the mode

Which two values are essential to find the sum of a series?

• First and last terms

• Median and mode

• Common difference and ratio

• Average and midpoint

In an arithmetic sequence, what is necessary to calculate the sum?

• The common ratio

• The first and last terms

• The mode
