Result methodology

The certified arithmetic-sequence engine calculates the nth term and finite sum, while the Free trend preview is generated from the same progression.

Solution steps
  1. aₙ = 1 + (10-1)×2 = 19
  2. Sₙ = 10(1+19)/2 = 100

How this calculator works

For an arithmetic sequence, aₙ=a₁+(n−1)d and Sₙ=n(a₁+aₙ)/2.

Formula

aₙ=a₁+(n-1)d; Sₙ=n(a₁+aₙ)/2

Computes an arithmetic sequence term and finite sum.

Worked example

First 10 odd numbers is a verified test case used by the calculation engine.

Assumptions and limitations

  • This certified version covers arithmetic sequences.
  • n is an integer from 1 through 1000; the preview shows at most 20 terms.

Methodology & sources

This calculator uses deterministic, versioned calculation logic. The formula and verified examples above are part of the calculation definition used by CalcuMint.

Frequently asked questions

Which sequence type is supported?

This version calculates arithmetic sequences with a constant common difference.

Does it calculate the sum?

Yes. It returns the nth term and the sum of the first n terms.
