Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve it by considering an arithmetic sequence starting from 1 to n with a common difference of 1. So the series is
1,2,3,......,n.
So we can write the arithmetic series as,
First term, a = 1
Common difference, d = 1
Number of terms, n
Now we know that the sum of an arithmetic series is ,
S_n = (n/2)×[2a+(n-1)d]
So plugging in the values we get,
S_n = (n/2)×[2+n-1]
This can be simplified and written as,
S_n = n(n+1)/2.
