# AS sequence

In an arithmetic sequence is given the difference d = -3 and a71 = 455.

a) Determine the value of a62
b) Determine the sum of 71 members.

Result

a62 =  482
s71 =  39760

#### Solution:

$a_{ 71} = 455; d=-3 \ \\ a_{ 71} = a_1 + (71-1)d \ \\ 455 = a_1 + (71-1)\cdot (-3) \ \\ a_1 = 455 - (-210) = 665 \ \\ \ \\ a_{ 62 } = a_1 + (62-1)d= 665 + 61\cdot (-3) = 482$
$s_{ 71 } = 71 \cdot \dfrac{a_1+a_{ 71 }}{2} = 71 \cdot \dfrac{ 665 + 455 }{2} = 39760$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
