The sum of the 5 terms in the arithmetic series is 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we need to determine the three values between a1= -14 and a5=30. The difference between the first and fifth value = 30 - (-14) = 30 + 14 = 44.
Since there are 4 values after a1 we divide the difference by the number of terms, the difference between each term = 44 / 4 = 11. So the difference between each term is 11.
Step 2; To find out the terms we just add the difference to the previous number.
