新版gre数学复习重要考点:Sum of Arithmetic Progression
The sum of n-numbers of an arithmetic progression is given by
S=nx*dn(n-1)/2
where x is the first number and d is the constant increment.
example:
sum of first 10 positive odd numbers:10*1+2*10*9/2=10+90=100
sum of first 10 multiples of 7 starting at 7: 10*7+7*10*9/2=70+315=385
remember:
For a descending AP the constant difference is negative.
