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)/2Computes 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.
- CalcuMint deterministic sequence engine — Standard arithmetic progression identities.
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.
