Instructions and information for using the Arithmetic Progression Two Terms Calculator
If you know two whatever terms of an arithmetic progression (and obviously the position they occupy in the sequence), you can calculate the sum of as many terms as you want just by inserting the two terms xp and xq (p < q), the positions p and q they occupy in the sequence (i.e. which terms are xp and xq in the sequence) and the number n of the terms you want to include in the sum calculation. Then, with just a click, you will obtain the desired result.
For example, in the arithmetic sequence 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, suppose you are given only x2 = 10 and x6 = 22 and nothing else (p = 2 and q = 6). The exercise may require finding the sum of the first 7 terms (n = 7). Using the formula given in the calculator, we obtain:
S7 = [2 ∙ 10 + (22 - 10/6 - 2) ∙ (7 - 2 ∙ 2 + 1)] ∙ 7/2
= [2 ∙ 10 + (22 - 10/6 - 2) ∙ (7 - 2 ∙ 2 + 1)] ∙ 7/2
= [20 + (12/4)∙(7 - 4 + 1)] ∙ 7/2
= [20 + 3 ∙ 4] ∙ 7/2
= [20 + 12] ∙ 7/2
= 32 ∙ 7/2
= 112
Proof:
= 17 + 13 + 16 + 19 + 22 + 25
= 30 + 16 + 19 + 22 + 25
= 46 + 19 + 22 + 25
= 65 + 22 + 25
= 87 + 25
= 112
