The first term of the series if the series contains 18 numbers and has a sum of 4,185 is 190
Sequence and series
Series are sum of sequences
The formula for calculating the last term of a sequence is expressed as:
Sn = n/2(a+l)
Given the following
Sn = 4185
n = 18
l = 275
Required
first term "a"
Substitute
4185 = 18/2(a + 275)
4185 = 9(a + 275)
465 = a+ 275
a = 465 - 275
a = 190
Hence the first term of the series if the series contains 18 numbers and has a sum of 4,185 is 190
