Sum of the arithmetic sequence 8,14,20 if there are 24 terms

1,848

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the arithmetic pattern:

*Arithmetic means addition or subtraction*

To get from 8 to 14, we must add 6.

To get from 14 to 20, we must add 6.

The arithmetic pattern is 6.

List the rest of the terms (24 terms total):

8, 14, 20, 26, 32, 38, 44, 50, 56, 62, 68, 74, 80, 86, 92, 98, 104, 110, 116, 122, 128, 134, 140, 146

Formula:

Sn = n (a1 + an/2)

a1 = first term

an = last term

n = number of terms

Sn = 24 (8 + 146/2)

Sn = 24 (154/2)

Sn = 24 (77)

Sn = 1,848

22, 28, 34, 40, 46

b)   f(n) = 6n + 16

n = what is the number of the row ( 22 would be row 1) so if we replaced n with 1, we would get 22

c)   the 14th row will have 100 seats

(1)   (2)   (3)   (4)   (5)   (6)   (7)   (8)   (9)   (10) (11) (12) (13) (14)

22 | 28 | 34 | 40 | 46 | 52 | 58 | 64 | 70 | 76 | 82 | 88 | 94 | 100
