arithmetic series


An arithmetic seriesMathworldPlanetmath is the series, i=1nai, in which each real term has the form ai=ai-1+d for i=2,,n where d is constant. The sum of the sequence is given by the following12n[2a1+d(n-1)].In order to find the formula above firstly we express the terms of the sequence, a2,,an in terms of a1 and the constant d. In this case we get a2=a1+d,a3=a2+2d,,an=a1+(n-1)d. Now we express the sum of the sequence by developing the series forward and we have:

Sn=i=1nai=a1+a1+d++a1+(n-2)d+a1+(n-1)d

Reversely, we develop the series backwards and we get

Sn=an-d+an-2d++an-(n-1)d

It is easily seen that by adding the two expressions we get

2Sn=n(a1+an)(1)
Sn=12n(a1+an)(2)

Hence, by substituting an=a1+(n-1)d we get the first formula.
