Calculate the explicit formula
Calculate term number 10
And the Sum of the first 10 terms for:
{1,9,17,25}

Explicit Formula

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

Define d

d = Δ between consecutive terms
d = an - an - 1

We see a common difference = 8
We have a1 = 1
an = 1 + 8(n - 1)

Calculate Term (5)

Plug in n = 5 and d = 8
a5 = 1 + 8(5 - 1)
a5 = 1 + 8(5 - 1)
a5 = 1 + 8(4)
a5 = 1 + 32
a5 = 33

Calculate Term (6)

Plug in n = 6 and d = 8
a6 = 1 + 8(6 - 1)
a6 = 1 + 8(6 - 1)
a6 = 1 + 8(5)
a6 = 1 + 40
a6 = 41

Calculate Term (7)

Plug in n = 7 and d = 8
a7 = 1 + 8(7 - 1)
a7 = 1 + 8(7 - 1)
a7 = 1 + 8(6)
a7 = 1 + 48
a7 = 49

Calculate Term (8)

Plug in n = 8 and d = 8
a8 = 1 + 8(8 - 1)
a8 = 1 + 8(8 - 1)
a8 = 1 + 8(7)
a8 = 1 + 56
a8 = 57

Calculate Term (9)

Plug in n = 9 and d = 8
a9 = 1 + 8(9 - 1)
a9 = 1 + 8(9 - 1)
a9 = 1 + 8(8)
a9 = 1 + 64
a9 = 65

Calculate Term (10)

Plug in n = 10 and d = 8
a10 = 1 + 8(10 - 1)
a10 = 1 + 8(10 - 1)
a10 = 1 + 8(9)
a10 = 1 + 72
a10 = 73

Calculate Sn:

Sn = Sum of the first n terms
Sn  =  n(a1 + an)
  2

Substituting n = 10, we get:

S10  =  10(a1 + a10)
  2

S10  =  10(1 + 73)
  2

S10  =  10(74)
  2

S10  =  740
  2







What is the Answer?

S10 = 370
