Arithmetic Sequences and Series
1. Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15, . . .

2. Calculate the sum of the first 10 terms of the arithmetic series: 2, 6, 10, 14, . . .
3. Find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence: 7, 11, 15, 19, . . ., where n =
6.
4. If the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 4 and the common difference
is −3, find the 8th term.
5. Determine the value of n if the sum of the first n terms of the arithmetic
series 5, 9, 13, 17, . . . is 140.
6. If the sum of the first 10 terms of an arithmetic series is 145, and the
common difference is 4, find the first term.
7. Given an arithmetic series with first term 2 and common difference −3,
calculate the sum of the first 15 terms.
8. Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence: 6, 12, 18, 24, . . .

9. Calculate the sum of the first 15 terms of the arithmetic series: 3, 6, 9, 12, . . .
10. Find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, . . ., where n = 10.

1. Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15, . . .

Common difference = Any term − Previous term

=7−3=4
= 11 − 7 = 4
= 15 − 11 = 4

So, the common difference is 4.

2. Calculate the sum of the first 10 terms of the arithmetic series: 2, 6, 10, 14, . . .
10
S10 = (2 + 14)
2
= 5(16)
= 80

So, the sum of the first 10 terms is 80.

3. Find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence: 7, 11, 15, 19, . . ., where n =
6.
a6 = a1 + (6 − 1)d
=7+5×4
= 27
So, the sixth term is 27.
4. If the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 4 and the common difference
is −3, find the 8th term.
a8 = a1 + (8 − 1)d
= 4 + 7(−3)
= −17
So, the eighth term is −17.
5. Determine the value of n if the sum of the first n terms of the arithmetic
series 5, 9, 13, 17, . . . is 140.
n
Sn = (5 + (5 + (n − 1)4))
2
n
140 = (5 + 5 + 4n − 4)
2
280 = n(10 + 4n − 4)
280 = n(6 + 4n)
280 = 6n + 4n2
4n2 + 6n − 280 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation gives n = 14.
