Question

The sum of the given AP -5 + (-8) + . . . + (-230) is

Answer 1

Answer:

ap,a=-5d=-8

n=-230

a+(n-1)d

(-5)+(-230-1)-8

5+229-8

234-8

225

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

-8584

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

a= -5

d= -8-(-5)

 = -8+5

 = -3

aₙ= a+(n-1)d

-230 = -5+(n-1)*-3

-225 = (n-1)*-3

75 = n-1

n= 74

sum

Sₙ = n/2{2a+(n-1)d}

Sₙ = 74/2{-10+(-74*-3)}

Sₙ = 37{-10 - 222}

Sₙ = 37*-232

Sₙ = -8584
