An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference. The value of the given series is 240.
What is arithmetic sequence?
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference.
The explicit formula for any arithmetic series is given by the formula,
aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d
where d is the difference and a₁ is the first term of the sequence.
The value of [tex]\log_{a^{\frac12}}(a)[/tex] will be equal to 2. Therefore, the series will become,
series = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + .... + 30
Now, as it can be observed that the given series is an arithmetic series, therefore, the number of terms in the series are,
30 = 2 + (n-1)1
28 = (n - 1)2
n - 1 = 14
n = 15
Further, the sum of the of the series will be,
sum = (15/2)[2(2) + (15-1)2]
sum = (15/2) [4 + 28]
sum = 240
Hence, the value of the given series is 240.
