Trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon, "triangle" and metron, "measure") is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles. The field emerged in the Hellenistic world during the 3rd century BC from applications of geometry to astronomical studies. The Greeks focused on the calculation of chords, while mathematicians in India created the earliest-known tables of values for trigonometric ratios (also called trigonometric functions) such as sine.

Throughout history, trigonometry has been applied in areas such as geodesy, surveying, celestial mechanics, and navigation.

Trigonometry is known for its many identities. These trigonometric identities are commonly used for rewriting trigonometrical expressions with the aim to simplify an expression, to find a more useful form of an expression, or to solve an equation.

An arithmetic sequence is given below.

Mashcka [7]

Given that $a_1=24$ and $a_2=17$ , if $a_n$ is an arithmetic sequence, then the common difference between successive terms is $d=a_2-a_1=17-24=-7$ .

You then have

$a_2=a_1+d$
$\implies a_3=a_2+d=a_1+2d$
$\implies a_4=a_3+d=a_1+3d$
$\implies \cdots\implies a_n=a_{n-1}+d=\cdots=a_1+(n-1)d$

So the explicit formula for the $n$ th term is

$a_n=24-7(n-1)$

Find the sum of the sequence 36 37 38 39 ... 109=

uysha [10]

It's an arithmetic sequence:

$a_1=36;\ a_2=37;\ a_3=38;\ ...\ ;\ a_{74}=109\\\\S_n=\dfrac{a_1+a_n}{2}\cdot n\\\\a_1=36;\ n=74;\ a_{74}=109\\\\S_{74}=\dfrac{36+109}{2}\cdot74=\dfrac{145}{2}\cdot74=72.5\cdot74=5365$
