Question

find the sum of n term of the sequence (an) where an=5-6n,n€N

Answer 1

an = 5 - 6n

1 ) a1 = 5 - 6= -1

2 ) a2 = 5 - 12 = -7

3 ) a3 = 5 - 18 = -13

d = a2 - a1

d = -7 - ( -1 ) = -7 +1 = -6

now ,

a = - 1 , d = -6

sum of n terms = n/2 [ 2a + ( n - 1 ) d]

Sn = n/2[ 2×(-1 ) + ( n -1 )(-6) ]

Sn = n/2 [ -2 -6n + 6 ]

= n/2 [4 - 6n ]

= n(2-3n )

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

an = 5 - 6n

1 ) a1 = 5 - 6= -1

2 ) a2 = 5 - 12 = -7

3 ) a3 = 5 - 18 = -13

d = a2 - a1

d = -7 - ( -1 ) = -7 +1 = -6

now ,

a = - 1 , d = -6

sum of n terms = n/2 [ 2a + ( n - 1 ) d]

Sn = n/2[ 2×(-1 ) + ( n -1 )(-6) ]

Sn = n/2 [ -2 -6n + 6 ]

= n/2 [4 - 6n ]

= n(2-3n )
